Le design, le dessein que reflète toute culture

The name of the design company is 'Dessein-Design'. SO it's artistic philosophy I guess.

Selected
Design, with designs to reflect all cultures
Repetition of a word with two different meanings here:
1) design (conceiving objects)
2) designs (plural) - plans, projects, schemes, intentions ("I'm taking art lessons and have designs to be the world's greatest painter")

Design in any language that reflects all culture
Or else I'd just just switch the French and English in this case as its also a name:
Design / Dessein that reflects all culture
Design / Dessein that reflects all culture

: But "dessein" is also "plan, project, etc.". "J'ai des desseins sur ta première place en KudoZ", par ex.
