Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. Theyโre able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand.
Paola AntonelliI want people to understand that design is so much more than cute chairs - that it is first and foremost everything that is around us in our life.

Paola AntonelliElegance in objects is everybodyโs right, and it shouldnโt cost more than ugliness.
Paola AntonelliPeople think that design is styling. Design is not style. It's not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need and beauty to produce something that the world didn't know it was missing.
