Design has evolved simultaneously with the need of mass production. Cheap materials and the ability to produce multiples have overridden the time and effort needed to create a single piece of art. The spirit and individuality of design have been replaced with an unselfish social agenda to standardize beauty and unify taste by introducing the language of the machine and computer.
I am largely in agreement with ‘function x economy’. Design needed to adapt with the social and economic situations of the leading governments around the globe. Individuality and uniqueness of one’s free mind will always shine through, creating an ever developing view of design that will never be fully attached to the mainstream.
Today science and art go hand in hand. One could marvel at the technological advances of the iPhone and also be mesmerized by its aesthetic qualities. Science is engrained in our make-up but art has a special pure form that can’t be ignored. It has an attractiveness that science will never gain. Science though, has revolutionized the way design is viewed in the modern world and has developed a new style of art that is all around, to be seen by everyone.
Modern day kitchen. Rationalizing design while maintaining an artistic flavour.
