"Design is Dead", says Starck. Oh reeeeealllly?
Kottke turned me on to this little bit o' nonsense for the evening:"I was a producer of materiality and I am ashamed of this fact," Starck told Die Zeit weekly newspaper."Everything I designed was unnecessary."my favorite line is that "design is a dreadful form of expression." Yeah, you're totally right about that, o' design god/huckster. That's why, oh everything people ever made was designed, in one form or another. If you criticize design, you're criticizing a large chunk of civilization's accomplishments (large and, more importantly, small), and the people who made them.Seriously, though, I think the point he is trying to make is that there are things more important than a well-made chair (although don't knock a comfy chair). The AFP article closes with him saying that the thing he needs most is the "ability to love." I would posit that any well made thing, whether a product of a designer, writer, artist, or sunday casserole-maker's output, contains love. And if you don't put a little of that in everything you do, you aren't making it as good as it could be.Labels: creativity, design, soul
