Ser­vice design­er Anouk Randag has sent a let­ter to one of the biggest news­pa­pers of the Nether­lands request­ing bet­ter and more cov­er­age of design, point­ing out that design is more than just pret­ty lamps and such. I find her def­i­n­i­tion of design think­ing prob­lem­at­ic, but apart from that, this is a laud­able ini­tia­tive. (The let­ter itself looks pret­ty too.)
