Design Tone

Design = Design Thinking


In Germany, design is strongly associated with design thinking; they value efficiency, quality, form and function, mastery, and expertise.

Deconstruction and Repurposing

Design as destabilised, deconstructed and reworked, by and for the benefit of both creators and audiences/users.

Collectivism, Community and Communion

Design as intended to bring people together within and across German culture, and as facilitating connection: between people, between people and the state/the idea of Germany, and between people and the natural world.

Individualism


Design as serving the needs of individuals and diverse social groups, and as enabling individuals to put their own mark on pre-existing designs through personalisation and customisation opportunities.
