I'd argue that aesthetics do serve a functional role in a workspace. This is why many people put photos of their family at their desk for a very easy to understand example. It does not do something specific to your work, but it certainly serves a function to the person doing work. Beautiful objects can serve a similar purpose for a lot of people.
For me it's almost always part of the consideration, though I'll concede that for items that are required for work, it needs to be able to do that well first.
- pnut 4y agoI personally keep a photo of my family on my desk as cue to moderate my instinct to rage quit when the latest nonsense flows downstream. "You're doing it for them" Nothing to do with aesthetics, although they are lovely.
- least 4y agoI did not say that the family photo is aesthetics, just that it can serve the same purpose as nicely designed objects. Both calibrate your mind for work. The appearance of things certainly influences how you think if you're looking at them all day.
