28. Firma is based on the naturally productive dynamic that
exists between practice, theory and education.
We believe that design is about more than the designed
object and industrial thinking. We feel that design should be
humanistic, not just for end-users, but society at large; that
design, whether we acknowledge it or not, always exists as a
part of social reality.
We also believe that open access and the sharing of
knowledge moves us all forward.
