Great Designers

It seems that we are readily impressed when ‘ordinary people’ strive for Grand Designs – but do our bureaucratic utmost to prevent professional designers chasing the same high aspirations. This is perverse.

In other creative endeavours this doesn’t happen. Yes, we applaud when an amateur plays The Minute Waltz, but we can still celebrate the difference when Lang Lang plays Chopin.

If we are all to enjoy great design then we better value great designers.
