TAKE Design
Design has been understood variously around the world. In general, it is seen to refer to objects with specific physical and social functions: architecture; fashion garments, accessories and textiles; products and graphic communication content. The question of values, therefore, is central to design. These values – aesthetic, emotional, material, intellectual – are those anchors that inform the quality of life, and are reflected in the forms and colours of considered making. This allows design to be seen as a means through which values are held onto, discarded, sifted, sorted and refined.
