One of the mutant Japanese-English (Japlish) words that works well enough to make its stately entrance to the language at large. Further, it fills a hole that needs to be gooped up, as there is a strong design current that nothing else, well, quite targets so sweetly. "Melty" describes objects with soft corners, sagging curves: imagine taking a buck-ugly 1970s GM product and subjecting it to about a thousand degrees Celsius for just long enough for the metal bits to start to lose their hard edges (forget about visualizing the glass, plastic and rubber please). Contemporary audio equipment design. Some cameras. Nova-deco architorture. All "melty" in their own way. Name comes from an unspeakably icky Nipponese chocolate bar.
