At the Boarderland
DesignArt as an art concept?

Borderlands are always interesting, they fragment into a promising stillness.
 
 
Just there, where Logos and pure matter no longer dominate, there is also enough room for Mythos (myths or legends).
The French philosopher Roland Barthes understood Mythos as a communication system, a vessel for transporting meaning.

In this vein one could see furniture, objects and furnishings also in terms of Mythos. “Ceci n'est pas une chaise” – this is not a chair.

Design objects, just like Mythos, also strive for symbolic beauty and the sublime. Light not only delivers brightness, but it also enlightens. Seating furniture opens up the most varied spacial perceptions, material surfaces radiate sensuality and geometric compositions, form angles and impart a new framework to the realities of life.

In the term “DesignArt” this near metaphysical nuance of design is emphasized.

Exclusive designs bestow everyday objects with a special aura. In this context exclusivity is not meant in an elitist, but in an individualistic sense.
Designers envelop their unique creations with an auratic quality, which not only expresses itself in form and function.
Objects and furniture are modules, which point to something on a higher plane, something that is not instantaneously visible. At the end of the day this enables communication with people.
The tension that builds up between the object and the viewer is especially interesting. In this gap, which one tends to perceive unconsciously out of the corner of one's eye, is where myths / legends (Mythos), the sublime and eternally beautiful develop.

The profane encounter with a design object turns into a kind of relationship.
In such instances art reveals itself in design.
