Design is simple like cutting a bonsai tree. Not that trimming a bonsai tree is simple work, but the design of a bonsai tree should be simple. Design is best at simplicity.
Instead of looking into the past designs, we should look into the future of design. Reinventing the old to fit the new. How can designers design something that will benefit people now? Designers need to think about society and how their products can be put into good use.
"Everything in our world was designed for something" [quote from documentary], like a coffee mug or a pair of scissors. We never think about how's it made or think about those who thought to make it. Who said a coffee mug should hold coffee? But whatever the answer, we know that it was made to help us one way or another.
