Contribution:
Design Systems / Stolen design
In over 10 years experience on digital design Nofrontiere has changed focus and direction many times. Sometimes for the need of the market, sometimes for the development of the different technologies, but most of the time for the necessity to work on areas which still have open space for experimentation, and also, many times, simply for the need to fulfill our vision. System Concepts system design is an open space, a playground for experimenting with all the knowledge we collected during the past years on digital design, and over all the changing faces of our professional experience. We dont really know what it is exactly, and probably we will just understand it completely when we will be ready to switch to the next phase of our development.
