Paola Antonelli

- I've been collecting definitions of design…really for a few years.…And I have about 172.…And yesterday I found some more on a website…so you understand it's so encompassing,…just the noun itself that you can say…anything you want about it.…I have my own, the one that works for me.…And the one that also shows…which kind of design I'm interested in.…To me design, really good design,…is what takes revolutions and progress…and makes it into objects that we can use.…So I like that push forward that designers give to us…by taking innovation and bringing it home in a way.…

So making it into things that we can use.…That's my kind of design.…Behind each object there is so much.…You know we've gotten used to understanding more…about music and more about movies…because somebody explained to us what tracks are,…what arrangements are,…somebody explained to us what a production designer does,…what a director of photography does,…I just want people to have the same kind…of array of critical tools and understanding…that we have for other expressions of creativity.…
