as high tide after low tide, our years are punctuated with events that come back every year, faithful, and allow us all at the same time sequence passing time bounds recurrent and reassuring, and see how, over the years, the world and us, evolve
in April, the peas are appearing on the market, and sometimes in May, when Time is reluctant and under the climatic
in July, are the festivals that provide programming or headliner, staging and text each year fade and give way to the troops, to installation and
story in August, is the appointment with the big books purchased in the year and that publishers, more and more reluctant to publish, as the time to read and we fix our attention on more than 600 pages are reduced
in September, are the peaches, always ugly, always tasty, and each year a little bit more rare, hard to sell because
and in June, it is the juries of design schools, because we provide exceptional meetings, beyond meetings with designers, tomorrow, will work with us and, after tomorrow, we will replace the vision of perception of design by young generations
how to judge the design?
basis on which to watch a work of designer and prospects?
what is a good design? is there a good design? who are we to say and what is the impact of design on the other?
First, there is our light, built from childhood with the love of our parents / or not, more or less / and the values they have shared / taste of introspection and plural, study and service, the corner of the street and the end of the world, time and eternity, reflection and curiosity, intuition and self-confidence then
It is our journey, our studies, our meetings and experiences that we have trained and taught us as much as what works what does not, and processes to understand
and, most importantly, there is the twin of the butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can trigger a tornado in Texas: is the smile of the senior Tibetan time, anywhere in the world, it can open a can of sardines, alone, sitting in an armchair in lobby, Airport find the toilet and understand the bias of an exhibition
can feel affection for miles "I remember" by Georges Perec, the local furniture by Jean Prouvé or a silver candlestick in 2010
but "I remember," for Argentina, does not mean anything, our body shapes, even for fans of haagen dass can not spend 4 hours reading a detective novel based on a stiff wooden and metal and 37 000 euros for 16 branches, is a large sum for many
design is essentially the universal
shape, material, color, proportions and balances are there to make disappear all cultural barriers, social , language, training and education
telling us young designers?
First, they tell us many things / each medium they are familiar, separate boxes and industrial design or graphic or web or fabric or other sound or services not covered by their research, as functions typed designers or architects or urban planners or landscape architects or designers or decorators
from them, their desires and their learning, they build typos, videos, packages, furniture, circulation areas and new ways of living the classroom, the abandoned house and children play
they say, and most importantly that design has become plural
this is not new / what is new is the generic approach, from knowledge, to try to achieve well-being at all times and for all and all, senior Tibetan included
good design is the one without manual
one that exceeds the stand the shop and lounge
one that improves, facilitates and advances humanity
if new designers we need to find their place, he is sure they already make us a thousand gifts, starting with their availability and their eyes to a thousand faces / rich trade
