More quotes by Paola Antonelli
While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.
Paola Antonelli
In an ideal world, social responsibility would be a prerequisite for design, and designers would vow to produce beautiful, useful, positive, responsible, functional, and economical things and concepts that are meaningful additions to—or sometimes subtractions from—the world we live in. Indeed, design deserves such thoughtful consideration.
Paola Antonelli
Be yourself, be in the moment, you’re going to be modern.
Paola Antonelli
We live today not in the digital, not in the physical, but in the kind of minestrone that our mind makes of the two.
Paola Antonelli
Elegance in objects is everybody’s right, and it shouldn’t cost more than ugliness.
Paola Antonelli
I 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 Antonelli
Designers may be the true intellectuals of the future.
