How do I design a chair, lamp or toothbrush? 12/11/2007 10:05 I feel awkward, a bit out in the cold because I don't seem to get excited by the idea of creating another chair. What is wrong with me? Everyone seems to do it, I did it when I was a student, now I'm struggling with the very idea of it. Maybe I shouldn't question the validity of it because the magazines clearly like to see them, and lamps are popular too, I should also design a lamp, I would if I was a proper designer. No, I choose to design other things, why do I do that? The things I like to design are really complicated in form but simple in concept, I must have this the wrong way around, I'm sure of it. I want to design a lamp; immediately my mind wrestles with the validity of producing another lamp, you've probably produced an excellent and beautiful lamp so what's the point of me doing that? What's your problem and what are you looking at? I'd feel the desire to understand these two things, how can a chair do that for me? It sounds like a need a new challenge, I need to go to Finland and see how they produce wood, I should go to Wales and see them produce clay, I should go to anywhere and see them produce anything.. I'll produce it, you consume it and they'll take pictures and write about it - that's about it isn't it? I should force myself to design a coffee cup, I use one everyday and it would be useful. I could apply that logic to a chair, a lamp and a toothbrush; I've just saved myself from reality again, I can imagine designing lots of things once I finish the ones I'm working on.
