According to Nille Juul-Sørensen Danish design was famous for fantastic chairs and teacups but it dawned on him that it was time that designers should turn their attention to designing for the 99% of people, "to do some design that gave meaning to people and that they could engage in."
"I realised that by working for big companies like Nike, Nasa and IKEA, if we really focussed on the systems that is where the gold is for companies but also for me as a human being I will better understand things and my experience of design would be seamless," he says.
He goes on to question what a "luxury project" is. Is a beautifully crafted high-end handbag or is it actually a glass of fresh drinking water? For 99% of the world the glass of water is the luxury.
"We still need nice things around us but we need to put them in a context that gives meaning us," he argues.
He believes that we have gotten to a place in our evolution that designers have to step up: "It is about people and about someone who can decode the life you have and how to move that forward. It is about designing the systems, not the gadgets."
He believes that we should move from a linear economy to a circular economy where waste feeds back into a system that allows for maximization and clever application of resources.
"For me it is about creating these systems that you actually don't notice," he says.

This is a very important thing designers need to think about in this day and age. But we need to be in the meetings where these decisions are made.

So if you read this comment,it might solve your issues if they have to do with bullying
Bullying:
Best way to defend against bullying is having a great choice of *apperance* so this means how you go up to the bully,I recommend walking slowly towards them with the head up
Now it is your work to think while going up to him,what you are going to say,dont talk in a passive nor angry voice more,in a neutral voice.
Extra:if you want to prevent bullying from ever happening to you,it is recomended to have nothing for them to say about you in terms of clothes,also you should have a strongly build body to scare them away tho you shouldnt always point that out,so just behave to normal people just as you normally do.
