Designculture

Designculture is offered to students, designers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts as a source to understand what is good design and what are its everlasting principles, what is the role of the designer and what are its reponsibilities.

The projects published by Designculture constitute a wide and eclectic overview whose authors share a similar design attitude voted towards functional simplicity and cultural richness, revealing the social importance beyond the aesthetic appearance of design.

Designculture doesn’t want to propose a style to follow. We are totally against trends, and we don’t care of novelty for its own sake. Rather, Designculture wants to spread quality in all its forms, promoting the work and the principles that produced the culture of good design.

We think that “design is one,” following the original concept that design is one discipline common to many different subjects: architecture, furniture, graphics, products, typography, and so on.

The interviews also emphasize the difference between design, styling, art, and illustration but we didn’t renounce to publish a few pages dedicated to people who worked on the edge of design, because their work constitutes an excellent example of intelligent creativity.

All the interviews and all the texts are produced by Nicola Munari, who also searches for data, images, links, documents, and quotations. A painstaking research allows the publication of many previously unseen images and some of the most complete biographies published on the web.
