Olivier Felix Isselinexplains:
Before designing a chair, a façade or any other object, the designer must first understand the context, identify the real issues and build a coherent system of thought. Form should never be the starting point. It is the consequence of understanding, of connected decisions and of a clear intention. Design is not about inventing forms. It is about creating the conditions that make the right forms inevitable.
