(lighting manufacturer), adds that a commitment is needed from both parties (designer and industry), as there are clearly only decorative products and, therefore, conceptual products, as well as products for mass production and then we enter a more functional/aesthetic part, because only the functional part will not sell.
But after all, does creativity have limits or not? Designer Miguel Costa Cabral gives the answer “It has no limits and depends on the purpose of the product. One thing is the creativity that is possible for a client, another thing is the industry. Now, the industry has the capacity to manufacture up to a certain point, within that point there are no limits. Design can be considered a work of art, this is what people often look for, but it also depends on the product, the material and the industry, as having a work of art at an affordable price is not easy. Markets vary, I can make a beautiful piece in steel and it's cheap, but if I want to make it in solid bronze or solid brass it will be more expensive. It is possible to convey a beautiful design message that is accessible to various markets”.
And how do we solve the problem in interior design? On the one hand, if the decoration is not functional it will become a waste of money and very little useful, but on the other, if the project is not aesthetically beautiful it will not be appealing.
Leila Monteiro's suggestion (Creative Director of Atelier Sabiina Design) is to take into account which elements we want to include in the space and the usefulness of each of them. Then, we can divide the area into different environments, depending on its size, and give it a specific function, but when there is no specific function it can simply be that big highlight that catches the attention of guests.
