New and Unexpected

The only way to create something new and unexpected is to work outside of your own mind. Using tools that force you to make something that you haven't ever thought of before. You can't consider style, and beauty, because if it fits into the current style, it's expected. This is something I noticed last year during the Passagen furniture design event in Cologne. Very little of what was there looked new of exciting to me at all. I got explainations of what was actually new and different about it, but it still looked like something I'd seen before.

The only wat to create something that is truly new is to make something that isn't the typical idea of beautiful. It can be beautiful, but it has to be a new definition of beautiful.
