Designing well

I came across a great quote by the formidable Hella Jongerius in a NYT's article this week- "Its my way of being sustainable," she explained, "If you create products that have real meaning for people ,they're likely to last longer because they'll want to keep them." Also see a nice article on Natalie Chanin's journal about the quandary we are in as designers in a low consume culture. Follow both these women's lead-do beautiful work....that means something.
