Paola Antonelli

Iit_antonelli

Does good design have to be innovative?
Absoluntely not!  There is a whole tradition of great designers humbly improving and perfecting objects that already existed. So much of Scandinavian 20th century design was based on it, and Castiglioni used to teach a whole class on the redesign of pre-existing objects. It takes a pretty self-assured designer to do that, though.

— Paola Antonelli, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art
