The Invisible Presence
It is in the most common, and therefore, most unlikeliest of places that we find good design. It celebrates simplicity, stripping away the façade, thus exposing the function and beauty beneath. Good design puts emphasis on the user’s needs, rather than wants. People become so comfortable with it, that they rarely ponder its presence. Good design is selfless rather than selfish.
From a far, the artifact appears to be a simple wooden square, composed of a solid piece. Made of all wood, it has a smooth surface, further aiding its uniform nature. As the viewer observes closer, it is apparent that it is made of smaller components, set in a grid pattern. The object is based on a simple design yet it is by no means plain in appearance. It forces the viewer to perceive it on various scales and angles.
