I don't think design and architecture are inherently as you describe.

  When in the last 50 years of both fields have they not lauded celebrity practitioners with overinflated egos?

      $1000+ chairs aren't a great example of practical, ego-less design. And academia is a cop-out.

        I didn't think you would except any answers. Neither designer was an academic. I think you may have a problem understanding where value in a product resides. These values would be ergonomics and materials. $1,000+ chairs that last a lifetime and is repariable is a good value. I guess everyone should work for free?
