Why I did this post ? For this post I was looking for a subject, linked to Glowee, but without confidential informations, and of course enough interesting. I founded the idea when Simon the designer came for it morning coffee! So, I wanted to write a post on design, talking about it link with biology. So, in this post, I will not talk about the symbiosis of two organisms but the “symbiosis” between design and biology. In fact, both are important parts at Glowee, but also in other fields or companies. So, I wanted to talk a bit about design, and why these two fields are linked. But what is design? There is no real definition of design, because it change in function of the time, the fashion, the world or the cultures. But to describe design more particularly, the AFD (Alliance Française des Designers) give this following definition: “Design is a creative, multidisciplinary and humanistic intellectual process whose goal is to deal with and solve everyday problems, small and large, linked to economic, social and environmental issues.” And if biology needs design ? and vice versa? We don’t always pay attention to the design of objects, but for many of them, someone has thought about the shape, the size or the way to use it. It is also the case in many of instruments or machine in laboratories. Design is everywhere! In Glowee, the work of the designer is useful to create new shapes of bioluminescent stickers, new ideas of decors or new kind of utilisations of bioluminescent lights. Glowee absolutely need innovation in therm of light production but also design innovations, in order to create new kinds of products for example. Still working in the lab for biological researches, I see designers talking with the lab team, about our new researches, results and also needs for the experiments. So, the biological part is also a source of ideas for the designers.
