TL;DR: Beauty in imperfection. Not too relevant.
Things will degrade, it's natural. Is this not about designing things that degrade functionally? Seemed related to me.
The philosophy is tangentially relevant but there’s nothing wonky or antique about this flashlight so it’s not wabi-sabi.
LoL, not yet. ;-) I guarantee it will be an antique in someone's junk drawer in record time. I like good design, and this one strikes me as specious.
