Made me think of this: http://www.arngren.net/
It's a Norwegian technology/gadget retailer that was basically the Norwegian equivalent of what Radioshack used to be. Then it was sold to some entrepreneur back in 2000, promptly went bankrupt, and was bought back by the original founder. The design stems from the design of their huge paper catalogue back in the 80's.
Which reminded me of http://www.lingscars.com/
I had no idea she was still in business. Good for her, I thought she was brilliant on Dragon's Den.
Yes, she was. The website still hurts my eyes, but it works and manages to impart some of her personality, making me want to browse it more.
