The artist, Laura Kishimoto, of this Yumi Chair II is a consummate artist and creator.
Consummate in the sense of achieving a balance between what a material can do and what she can do without neither the material nor her being overly controlling. She does not control too much the material and she does not allow the material to control her too much … this dynamic, between her and her material, allows the birth of an art that is not contrived… it is beautiful, unique, and designed intentionally yet discovered design elements were allowed to emerge and became part of the art.
Truly a remarkable art. A purple cow… worth remarking about.
We do the same balancing act in SAFe: balancing emergent and intentional design of the solution (product, system, service) in hand. And the outcome usually is remarkable.
