is that possible?!

Some people originate ideas within themselves, while some does not. There are numbers of designers who are inspired by the materials they have been given. Design process might roughly be summarized as a process of thinking, looking and doing. However, some designers just simply start his process by doing it! They just happen to play and have lots of fun with the materials. For example, Tom Friedman is one of the designers who is significantly known for his remarkable designs which, most of them are made of simple household materials. He finds his way through stuff like toothpaste, soap, chewing gums, or even sugar cubes and end up with very impressive products. He even builds his own portrait out of sugar cubes! Tom evaluate ordinary to the art, which in some ways, is very useful design thinking method. We would not want our society to be packed with amazing designs that harm our environment. How nice would it be to have a society full of beauty that sustains!
