You are probably familiar with the phrase ‘less is more’, but what about ‘less, but better’? Coined by German industrial designer and former architect, Dieter Rams, he was concerned about his contribution to the world of “an impenetrable confusion of forms, colours and noises.” He asked himself an important question: is my design, good design?
Dieter Rams answered his own question through his ten principles for good design, which could be seen as an approach to simplicity and minimalist design, focusing on the essential.
In this video, I introduce Rams’ ten principles for good design, and while these were developed for product design, I give my own insights on how they can be applied to residential design, interior design and architecture.
