In your opinion, which is the role of the design in contemporary society?

Augusto Pirovano – CriticalCity Upload

Create a “software” for human relationships.

Matteo Uguzzoni – CriticalCity Upload

Bring people back to know each other and socialize and to abolish the idea of object-fetish.

Andrea Valle – Macchina Logotelica

I would just repeat myself saying something general compared to culture: create problems where it seems there are not and thus getting to solutions which let the boundaries move on.

Demian Conrad – Fanatic Collaborative Magazine

It should be a way of solving problems of different kind, not only producing objects or images, but also processes and meanings.

As Roberto Verganti said “innovation happens also through meaning”

Natascia Fenoglio – Mandala Chicle

My grandmother Anna bought in the seventies a tv Brionvega angol 11’’ designed by Zanuso and Sapper…I found it last year in her cellar covered by small stickers.

I would like that people used designers as my grandmother used that small television, with normality.

Maarten Bass, in his project Smoke, overturns the concept of beauty unchangeable in time…I would like that this could be the role of design in contemporary society: informal and without mental schemes.

Dominic Wilcox – Between your thoughts and mine

Design is such a broad subject that it is difficult to talk about it all. To make life more enjoyable is a good start..
