A VIEW ON DESIGN
Design is more than shaping materials; it gives purpose, aesthetics, and functionality to an object. It always interacts with its surroundings, prompting designers to rethink the relationship between form, function, and context, whether for industrial products or experimental projects.
Design influences, changes and helps address the challenges we face, impacting environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
Our design choices reflect how we value products in relation to people and the environment. These decisions reveal our biases, values, and vision for the world we want to build.
Designing for industry requires understanding materials, technology, and production processes, driving innovation to meet current needs while balancing tradition and modernity. It’s both a philosophical and technical endeavor, combining research, experimentation, intuition, and intellect.
