Summary:
« Nous évoluons sur une planète ronde, tout ce qui nous entoure est curviligne, je ne vois pas pourquoi nous devrions nous détacher ainsi de notre espace environnant, nous planquer derrière des lignes droites et des angles vifs qui ne correspondent à rien. La nature sculpte des designs parfaits, en évoluant sur des millions d'années, en se modifiant, en s'adaptant. Regardez le requin, sa forme n'a pas changé depuis des millions d'années... elle est parfaitement adaptée au milieu aquatique, on ne peut rêver mieux. Plus la technologie avancera, plus les formes rejoindront celles de la nature. Une observation attentive de l'évolution sur ces dernières années vous le confirmera. » (L.C) Au-delà du Bio design et dans la tourmente d'une société “post-industrielle” qui cherche ses recherches, Luigi Colani a inventé une dimension inédite : celle du “design voltairien”.
