design takes into account how people will use something, and what the user's biggest needs are. Exceptional design takes those things into account while also delivering a unique and interesting "wow!" factor.
When you see exceptional design in action, you just can't help but admire it. It's often the kind of thing that makes you wonder "How has no one ever thought of that before?"
