Ikea = Comic Sans & Impact & Dafont
I can´t propose quality to my clients, and then going to buy something from Ikea, that doesn´t fit to my philosophy
btw: many of their products are poor imitations from
- arne jacobsen
- verner panton
- c&r eames
- vitra stuff
- many more

Who says good design needs to be expensive?
Creating a solution within a budget is harder than just saying screw it. Why shouldn't people with smaller budgets also benefit from decent design? Lets stop being elitist. m' k?

- I agree. In fact I think Ikea embodies some of the Eames ideas about design. They thought it should be affordable and were not pleased with the prices thatJosev
- and were not pleased with the prices that Herman Miller was charging. They were also all for exploiting inexpensive materials.Josev

Who says good design needs to be expensive? ME :)
If someone rip a website changes the font and the colour and sell it for 200$, is that ok? and then argue: Why shouldn't people with smaller budgets also benefit from decent design?
is that ok?

- now, back to the gifs. lol. :-)akrokdesign
- yes, I have a lot of respect for moamoa but this is a ridiculous post.Josev
- We're talking about goods that are meant to be replicated with the goal of providing affordable design.Josev
- Not "one-offs". Why dont you read about the Eames' work.Josev

I like my furniture to be as tough as me. If I have to be careful around my dresser so not to smash it in half ... shit's lame.
- i am sure stuff ar dwr would break too. the price of things has nothing to do with toughness.akrokdesign

...so everyone needs a job, don't beat yourself up about it...either that or in the words of Al pacino in Heat:
'DON't WASTE MY MUTHERFUCKIN' TIIIIME!'

the whole idea of the modernist movement was to make design for the masses by making it affordable. by using mass production process, it would lower the price allowing anyone and everyone to be able to buy it.
