Design
Design is the practice of curating the interaction between people and their environment, considering aesthetic, functional, contextual, and cultural factors. Clothing, devices, furniture, transportation, the landscape, even the city, were all designed by a designer. The designs and designers featured here cover everything from fashion to interior design to landscape architecture.
