medical design can be fresh.

This is the dentist's office, KU64, in Berlin. Not exactly what comes to mind when I think of dentist, medicine, clinic, or doctor's office. And though this isn't my favorite design look per se, I do love the fact that someone is really thinking and designing medical places in a different way. Designed by the firm, graft, this place reminds me that there is energy around thoughtful design for the medical world out there. I want a cure, but in the meantime, I want the best medical experience I can possibly have while I'm waiting. And that includes aesthetic experience too.

I love your design posts. As a diabetic with an MFA, design and the outward appearance of this illness is important to me. I recently got so fed up with my sterile, unattractive medical bracelet that I made my own (you can see it on my blog), and though I never expected it would make much difference, it did. I just feel so much better about wearing it now.

I hope more companies and facilities adopt a mindfully artistic design strategy, and thanks for the neat options you post!!
