Many of us today have phones growing out of our cheeks. There was a time not too long ago when telephonic communication was still tethered to physical connections, what we now call the land line. When a technology becomes stable, invention becomes cosmetic and is displaced from the contents to the container, the shell or casing. Designers begin dabbling in problematics akin to the painter’s endgame, a dilemma verging on decoration that begs the question « where do we go from here ? », « what next ?». They configure and reconfigure, change the contours and typefaces, we go from curves to straight edges and back again, white to bone white to vintage white to metallic white to …
Design becomes a theological affair.
