Timeless. It is so hard to create a design that stands the test of time, but as a designer, I wholeheartedly accept that challenge. As Jan Martin puts it: be wary of trends; they come and go. Design is not about copying what’s “hot” or “in” right now. It’s about designing the solution you think is best for that client, that situation.
And I’m always a fan of finding inspiration in museums! That work is there for a reason.
