I love the blog Knock Off Wood because it shows me how to build furniture comparable to Crate & Barrel, etc. Ana, the blogger, said the most simple thing today that seems to be the central point of my thesis, as yet.
When you buy something, it comes with a price. When you build something, it comes with a story.
Kind of brilliant, right?

I like that it’s a pretty intense and deep thought… there is a book I think you might enjoy about design by Bela Banathy’s – Designing Systems in a Changing World.. He has a very interesting perspective on design and how it fits into the social system…. let me know what you think.
