Abstract
It is tempting to consider change within design paradigms as a discreet and defined movement, where one paradigm is set aside as another is taken up. But change is constant. Where does this leave the designer? Designers increasingly create something resembling the idea of a ‘non-finito’ product. Italian for ‘incomplete’, this intentionally unfinished product fosters the creativity of the end user’s experience. Instead of crafting something to be handed over, to design is to enable creation. But what about the organisation? How does it flourish? This is the question for the designer in today’s paradigm. The organisations are out there among the billions of stars—constellations to be linked, communities waiting to be nurtured, formed and reformed via the medium of those non-finito products. This is the future of the designer: one who enables ever-fluid organisations to foster their creativity and sustainable flourishment.
