Let’s do something different this Friday, shall we? Maybe we can turn this into a regular Friday discussion forum?

Last night on Twitter, I mentioned that I discussed over drinks that “Design is a Lifestyle.”. The following morning I got some very interesting replies. So I thought it might be fun to turn this twitter discussion into a blog discussion that is much easier for everyone to track.

I hope that this would be easier for you to be part of the conversation by getting an opportunity to have your say or share your thoughts in a back and forth manner. You can leave your thoughts in the comments below, or via Twitter. I’ll try to keep track of all your replies and post them here in a chronological order as best as I can.

Please do pass the word along or retweet this post so that we can invite as many people to the party as we can?

Here are some of replies I got this morning:

I’m looking forward to reading all of your comments and being part of this conversation. And if you are interested, these Twitter updates was created by the very cool Blackbird Pie.

    You should come to Southamerica and take a look, design is a lifestyle but I’m pretty sure it’s not what you have in mind.

    I always remember of a great quote, about that topic :

    “The design does not mean giving shape for a stupid product, for an industry more or less sophisticated. It is a way of conceiving life, politics, eroticism, food and even the design.”
    -Ettore Sottsass

    I agree and I’ll just add, if we follow our loves and convictions maybe it’s logical that they become our lifestyle, or influence it. And also the other’s life, through our design.
    Maybe it’s too much, but I always thought that if people were surrounded with good products, they tend to be good too :)

    (ps : Blackbird Pie is very cool, I just see that links are embedded !)


    Commenting Rules: I love reading your comments as it allows me to interact and learn from you. Being critical is fine, giving constructive criticism, even better. However if you are rude, I will delete your comment. Repeat, and I will blacklist you. The world is full of negativity, so I don't need anymore on my blog, which I consider my online home. Would you encourage Neanderthal behavior in your home? Neither would I.

    Finally, please use your personal name or initials and not your business name. By doing the latter, it comes off like spam, and that’s an auto delete. Thank you and I hope you enjoy being part of the conversation!
