Mid-century designers participated in a wide-array of practices, all of which ultimately supplemented their viewpoints and work. Their expansive ways of teaching can show us how design in our world is an ecosystem of products working together and riffing off of each other’s features. It’s not enough for a product to be stylistically pleasing; functionality and inclusivity must tie in as well. The concepts and ideas which are relevant today is mainly the marriage of the artistry and engineering. A successful product must have equal amounts of influence from many different perspectives, as the average of those perspectives amalgamates in something that can benefit an average person. To become a broad thinker like these designers, we must not limit ourselves to a specific discipline. Learning from other types of related fields can offer fresh new perspectives and ideas, which is critical to innovation and advancement.
