for those of you who are fans of “management-guru” Tom Peters here’s a short note:
tom peters who is a fanatic blogger for a considerable while now posted a short note on his view on design and the iPOD [those of you who’ve heard about him already know that tom is fanatic about design as well (it seems that this guy is either fanatic or dismissive ;-)]
since tom is always quite frank about his point of view today he stated:
“I’m frankly worried-as a Design Fanatic-about the perfection of iPods and CrossAction TBrushes; I worry that “design” is becoming sterilized or, worse, standardized-sterilized.”
the concept he holds against this “design perfection” is Wabi-Sabi, the japanese art of imperfection as he calls it. if you’d like to join or at least watch the frenetic discussion of his “followers” after the “master has spoken” ;-)
