I think the link between aesthetics, experience and learning could be relevant for (organization) design.
Hi Frithjof,
While not directly building on pragmatism as such, I think that for aesthetics the work of Antonio Strati would be a very good starting point. In the context of learning and experience, I'd recommend his 2007 paper. He has also written quite extensively about aesthetics in organizations more generally that you should definitely check out.
I've also attached the link to one of my own papers that focuses on practice-based learning, embodiment and experience. Perhaps slightly different from what you're asking for, but you might find some useful references. Article Seeing and sensing the railways: A phenomenological view on ...
Good luck!

Thanks! This is literature I was not aware of.
But what I mean would be the first half of Hatch (2012) on Dewey's aesthetics and the last half of Barry & Rerup (2006) linking aesthetics with organisation design.
But I think this just doesn't exist (yet).

Maybe the bibliography at the end of this Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Dewey’s Aesthetics would be helpful:
