From Mid-Century design to 21th century design

I think midcentury designers’ views have many commons; for example, they are human-oriented, which achieved basic principles of interaction design;
Dreyfuss’s s quoted say, “when the point of contact between the product and people becomes a point of friction, then the industrial designer has failed.” which means we need to design for humans.This is an important way of thinking in design area.

They also focus on designs’ aesthetics, like Ray Eames, always focus on the beauty of designs and hold a positive attitude while conducting experiments for their works. They believe that design should be beautiful and playful.
The concept of human-centred and design beauty is still essential in design field today.

As for an Interaction designer, I think it’s important to know that we are designing for people, and we need to do enough research on these people so that we can solve their problems. The beauty of the design is also essential. People won’t buy your design if it’s so ugly.
