back in march designboom met bruce sterling in turin, italy. our interview with the american
writer / curator/ designer is now online - you can read it in full here.

DB: are there any designers and/or architects from the past who you appreciate a lot?





I learn a lot from the past and I am a futurist.
any good futurist is a historian.
I am always looking for long-term trends and definitive
figures. all the kind of movers and shakers of different
regions and historical periods. I like the original
founding titans of the industrial design profession,
(henry) dreyfuss, (norman) bel geddes and (walter) dorwin
teague. I'm very interested in their approach to things,
how they angled it, how they put coalitions of people together,
how they mapped out a little social area in which they could
promote themselves and get paid. I like to look at how they
generated business, changed things, what they were
thinking, what they were writing to one another and so forth
