“Weniger, aber besser”

without comments

Dieter Rams, a German industriall designer, once explained his design approach as “Less, but better”.

Many of his designs — coffee makers, calculators, radios, audio/visual equipment, consumer appliances and office products — have found a permanent home at many museums over the world, including MoMA in New York. For nearly 30 years Dieter Rams served as head of design for Braun A.G. until his retirement in 1998. He continues to be a legend in design circles and most recently designed a cover for Wallpaper magazine.

Many people say it is obvious that Rams’ designs have been influential on Jonathan Ive of Apple, Inc., designer of such products as the iMac, iPod, and iPhone, as can be witnessed particularly in the iPhone’s calculator application, whose design is based on the Braun ET66 calculator designed by Rams.
Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles of good design:

Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is long-lasting.
Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
Good design is environmentally friendly.
Good design is as little design as possible.

Sometimes all you have to do is to start. To do what you always want to do.

It’s been a long time dream for me to have my own blog, a professional looking blog, that is regularly maintained with useful informations for my readers. I do have a lot of blogs before. I wrote about my daily experiences, about my feelings, about my journey, but then it’s all stop before it even started to get readers.

May be it’s now the time for me to start doing one of my dreams. It’s going to be a blog about arts, design, fashion, architecture, interior design and technology – all the areas that I passionate about.

All you have to do is start. Do.  Like Anne Lamott said in her book, you just have to do it ‘Bird by bird’ – one step at a time.
