Zitat des Tages von Charles Eames:
Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.
The real questions are: Does it solve a problem? Is it serviceable? How is it going to look in ten years?
Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.
It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad.
Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.
We work because it's a chain reaction, each subject leads to the next.
Who ever said that pleasure wasn't functional?
To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.
Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.
The details are not the details. They make the design.
It makes me feel guilty that anybody should have such a good time doing what they are supposed to do.
It is almost impossible to reconcile self expression with the creative act.
Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.
In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.
