The Western culture is often being accused of being highly materialistic one and obsessed with manufactured objects. Some critics even claim that the purchase of often overpriced things have become a purpose in itself, that we buy things just for the sake of buying them and not so much because we need them. But how much of this obsession is the consequence of human nature, and how much of it is created by design?
