The most successful designed objects, whether chairs, cars, or office blocks, exhibit an interpenetration of styling and problem solving. The best-designed objects don’t just solve technical problems; they do it with style. Problem solving in design therefore has an ineliminable aesthetic component. The Citroën 2CV, duct tape, and brown paper bags, despite their utility and ubiquity, are not design classics; Braun alarm clocks and Umbra waste-paper baskets are. So design problem solving is not just about ideas, nor is it a purely practical matter; one must be able to appreciate it stylistically, that is, aesthetically.
