From the Ted Talk by Paola Antonelli: Treat design as art
Unscramble the Blue Letters
And New York has another kind of knack for contemporary art. I'm always amazed — three-year-olds know who rchraid srrea is and take you to the galleries. But design, for some reason, is still misunderstood for decoration. It's really interesting: what many people think when I say the word "design" is they think of this kind of overdesigned — in this case, it's overdesigned on pusproe, but — decoration, interior decoration. They think of somebody choosing fabrics.
Design can be that, of course, but it can also be this. It can be a school of design in jaseurelm that tries to find a better way to design gas masks for people, because, as you know, irasel deploys one gas mask per person idinlcung bibaes. So, what these designers do is they find a way to lower the neckline, so that instead of being completely strangled, a teenager can also sip a Coke.

Original Text
And New York has another kind of knack for contemporary art. I'm always amazed — three-year-olds know who Richard Serra is and take you to the galleries. But design, for some reason, is still misunderstood for decoration. It's really interesting: what many people think when I say the word "design" is they think of this kind of overdesigned — in this case, it's overdesigned on purpose, but — decoration, interior decoration. They think of somebody choosing fabrics.
Design can be that, of course, but it can also be this. It can be a school of design in Jerusalem that tries to find a better way to design gas masks for people, because, as you know, Israel deploys one gas mask per person including babies. So, what these designers do is they find a way to lower the neckline, so that instead of being completely strangled, a teenager can also sip a Coke.
