to design is to organize
Very often people ask me: what is design?
« Do you create beautiful chairs? »
I spent a lot of time to find my definition of design because I wanted a true, simple and updated version.
Design is organization.
Design organize to create adaptable objects, services, digital products, processes, systems, etc…
The true question is « what is an organization? ».
To answer I propose another question: « do you like chaos? ».
I like chaos when I choose chaos. Otherwise, I prefer a more stable, calm environment to live in. 80% of the time, I prefer organization.
Organization allows rest time, security, fluidity, and other agreable sensations. But 100% of the time it can become boring.
20% of the time, I need chaos. Organization allows selected chaotic times. And from chaos emerge creativity and beauty.
Design allows creativity and beauty. It is why I am a designer: I organize to create contexts or systems allowing emergent beauty.
Design is the right approach to organizing spaces of care, regeneration, creativity, and beauty.
