Abstract
Design has the responsibility to create a new aesthetic philosophy that takes into consideration the damages to the environment created by its collusion with the corporate strategy of creating “un-needed” needs that lead people to purchase products that display a seductive appearance with a poisonous content. Designers, and corporations as a consequence, should aim at evolving a new, more mature aesthetic models reflecting the ethic model of sustainability.
