"Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose." ― Charles Eames Topic(s): Design More From Charles Eames "To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need." "In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route." "The details are not the details. They make the design." More In Design "I have made bouquets of pleats, bouquets of flowers, bouquets of ruffles, bouquets of feathers. Often I design in mousseline, held tightly around the waist, and with something else going on all around."― Giambattista Valli "I’m a freak, everything has to be totally flat when I play. Ed Will, my jazz teacher, set up everything completely flat, and then you’d tilt your snare drum away from you, so I do that too. So my snare tilts away from me."― Travis Barker "I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now, but just to make sure that the design is a logical, rational decision, taken after analyzing pros and cons."― Carlos Ghosn
