WALTER DE SILVA
THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY





  
 
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Redefinition
of design



Design is a constantly evolving cultural model. 
It is a multidisciplinary activity which consists in determining the formal properties of industrially produced objects. It develops analogue and digital, eco-sustainable, aesthetic and poetic systems. It defines business strategies; it is at the centre of decision-making processes. It makes products less ambiguous and gives added and repeated value over time for a mutual benefit between citizen, user, company and country.
