Jakub Berdych Karpelis
Design is trending right now, but sometimes I feel that it has almost become an abused word – design daily, design weekly, ugly design, timeless design… But who today can say what design is and isn’t? It is about the perspective we adopt. Design is most importantly a craft. Without craftsmanship, it becomes only a means of making money.
