Slow Design Philosopy Taking Hold

Posted by liz on May 26th, 2009

img_0504I never realized that I practiced a certain philosophy, but after reading “Slow is the New Fast,” by Stir magazine for Sherwin Williams, I realized that I’ve always suscribed to these philosophies.

Design to me is an evolotion a build, a layering.  Textures, colors, storyies, inspriation, culture and travel.  All things that we do in our lives reflected in our environments.

The slow movement was founded on “educating and lobby for organic farming, nutrition and the use of local ingredients. Over the years, the Slow Movement has expanded into the areas of travel, shopping and, more recently, design.”

The movements 6 principles are, “reveal, expand, reflect, engage, participate, and evolve.”  Consider how the economy has slowed and we begin to value what takes time not how quickly we can get it.

My dad made the red adirondack chairs for us, I painted them and together we’ve added relaxation to our weekend routine and a slower philosophy to live by.
