Slow Food, the international ethical movement about good, clean and fair food, has been working a lot lately on developing a slow approach to design as well - which started off with a small international conference on the topic last year in Milan.
To understand the "slow+design" initiative better, you can now read an interview with Slow Food spokesman Giacomo Mojoli on the website of Turin 2008, World Design Capital. Interestingly he speaks a lot about the meaning of strategic design, service design, experience design and sustainable sensoriality, and raises some controversial ideas about the importance of imperfection, limitation and technological restraint in our design thinking.

Could Giacomo Mojoli be talking about 'ICEAlity' when he mentions 'slow+design' ?
Google Search the word: 'ICEAlity' to describe the phenomena of culture integrating with social issues.
ICEAlity is the Aesthetics of the relationship between Humans and their Environment through the Arts, ultimately promoting an effective sustainable global Culture of Peace.
(consider ICEAlity being the enhanced outdoor version of Feng Shui: The Chinese art of interior design whereby the positioning objects will have a positive or negative impact on inhabitants).
It is the process of the Environmental Arts Movement started at the The International Center for Environmental Arts (ICEA) founded by David and Renate Jakupca in 1987.
Environmental Art is the indigenous art form of the greater Cleveland, Ohio area.
The ARK in Berea is the home to the global Environmental Art movement.
David Jakupca is the recognized leader and the Spiritual Father of the Environmental Art movement.
In 1993 in Vienna, Austria at the World Conference on Human Rights, ICEA, with the approval of U.S. Delegates, Jimmy Carter and Geraldine Ferraro, began recycling and promoting United Nations' World Conferences.
Through this partnership with the United Nations, ICEAlity has influenced a global audience of literally billions of people.
