Design: what’s in a name?
What’s the difference between art and design? Admittedly, the distinction isn’t always clear. Design and industrial design are categorized as ‘applied arts’. Both art and design pieces stand out because of the way they look. Yet design pieces are more than just pretty objects: they should be functional or practical and they are produced in series.
Yet a design piece is never ‘merely’ something you can use. A lot of time and thought goes into its shape, lines, materials and production process. It is no exaggeration to say that designers put their heart and soul into their designs, trying to convey an emotion or idea. It should come as no surprise, then, that top designers are as highly regarded as the world’s leading artists.
