Art vs. Design

To me, art and design are mutually exclusive. The biggest difference between the two is that art has no utilitarian quality to it, whereas design is inherently made to be used. Art can stimulate the senses, provoke thought, challenge the status quo. However, art cannot be used as one uses an iPod, a Maserati, an advertisement, a piece of furniture, et cetera. Things you specifically USE are products of design, not pieces of art. If the design is spectacular and merits placement in a museum, it ceases to be a designed product and becomes art. After all, how many times do you see people having lunch at the Frank Lloyd Wright dining table sets in a museum? If an object is deprived of its original use, it gains all the attributes assigned to art but loses those originally given to it through design.
