Studies prove that design is a real economic lever.
The cost of a designer may be feared by company managers, but the return on investment is clear: 1€ invested in design is a 2,25€ gain in the turnover. (Design Council Study, 2006)
One also observes that the growth rate of companies using design is, on a 5 year period, 22% higher than the one of its competitors (Danish Study “The economic effects of design”, 2003)
