Karel Martens on design: Not like fries and mayo, pleasing you instantly but then causing stomach-aches



“I think it’s important that like good wine, a design has a lingering flavour.”  

Karel Martens is one of the Swiss design disciples of a slightly later generation working within Dutch modernism but with clear influence from the Swiss international style - studying and making his mark in the 60's 70s onwards insted of the 50s like designers such as Hofmann and Müller-Brockmann.


Great video showing his thought process and with a few great quotes too.
