Stephen Bayley Quote

Design is the great adventure of the twentieth century; it's led... to the aestheticization of the everyday object, to the democratization of luxury. Today, you, me and even young Peter Mandelson can buy a disposable Bic razor for next to nothing and get a better shave than ever Augustus Caesar or the Sun King could.
