“Good design is environmentally friendly. Design can and must maintain its contribution towards protecting and sustaining the environment. This does not just include combatting physical pollution, but also visual pollution and destruction of our environment as well.”
— Dieter Rams Primary source“Good design is durable. It has nothing trendy about it that might be out of date tomorrow. This is one of the major differences between well-designed products and short-lived trivial objects for a throwaway society that can no longer be justified.”
