Let's talk about scale.

Product, interior, and fashion design all have one great thing in common: scale.  In each case, designers have to keep their entire focus on the individual.  Architecture, urban planning, and fine art all have to speak to the broad public.  Between their size and the uniqueness of each of those disciplines' work, they can only ever appeal to greater society.  Products, fashion, and interiors are far more replicable, and therefore, are much more personal because each person can have their own phone, sweater, or kitchen.

Isn't it amazing how much holding something, even if there are 10 million others just like it, makes it feel like it's all yours?
