Branding through the interface
Design is shaping our entire society, from the furniture and kitchen utensils in our home, and the interface on our phone, to our cities and urban spaces. Design is everywhere and it’s changing the current situations to new desired ones. But how do we ensure that the new design improves our current situation? How do we design for the better of people and society, and not just to improve technology and the economy?
Danish design is renowned for its simplicity and craftsmanship, but also for thinking about society at large. In this talk, Marcus will explore if it is possible to find some answers in the classic Danish design tradition, if we should re-evaluate well-known principles from the Bauhaus movement, or simply define a set of next generation design principles?
