& to achieve what??.
I deeply admire,appreciate the design philosophy but was expecting the results to produce a greater impact upon their invention…………but……

I’m calling to all you designers out there who, like me, designs functional objects combined with aesthetics: Stop doing it!
Start working after this fantastic philosophy: OBJECT – FUNCTION = USELESS!!
This will finally convince all of those executives that doubt a designers impact on a product, that we really make a difference!

We are actually able to make any product useless!!

I would love to have money and free time to do something like that. But I am a designer. I have none.

International Herald Tribune “Design-Art” R.I.P. [..] Resilient though some areas of design will be, others have already been hit by recession. One is “design-art.” Half of the lots at Sotheby’s design auction in London last month were unsold, and dealers are nervous about the prospects for next month’s Design Miami fair. But what’s the most exciting role for design? Developing new business concepts and cracking social problems, or making expensive, uncomfortable furniture?

To analyse the quality of a design product we must study use value ( utility ) and exchange value…
With democratic design the exchange value is always low, so the last design trend was to create not a design product but a piece near art in limited edition, sometimes a prototype ,unusefull , nice and pricy.Dutch design was leading in this trend.
Now we are in a deep financial and economic crise and also in an eco trend , designers will design again things simple, innovative ,democratic with great use value,
