Something, then, must be different, the question remains: different in what? When the question is the relationship between art and design, we imply, consciously or not, that this relationship is asymmetric in such a way that art is more refined, more specialized, and more narrow than design. And in a certain perverse way, we assume that design desires or strives to be like art, if not actually be art. I will here try to test the opposite direction in the relationship: what if art desires or strives to be like design? This is not a new reversal. It was attempted by the constructi­vists, by the Arts & Crafts movement, and by Bau­haus. But they all failed in this regard.
