At de Poorter design we devise functional product; intuitive, user-friendly, that aim at simplicity yet are capable of provoking excitement, thanks, also to visual lightness of form. "Less is more!" Why does
high tech inevitably generate complexity? "We buy with our eyes", said Raymond Loewy of industrial aesthetics. Today's challenge is the synthesis between the dimensions of high-tech and high-touch. The hypertechnological man we are going to be tries to find sensorial compensation not only in form but also in more sophisticated materials - the "skin" of objects. And so we seek sensorial stimulations, perhaps to compensate for technology's coldness. In 2000 de Poorter Design is the expression of extensive Italian Design and the Made in Italy experience, which have seduced and conquered the world. |
