i am a simple someone, with rather curious interests.

i am obsessed with architecture, interior and industrial design (furniture design is my passion), graphic design, photography and all design related activities and theories.

i specifically love japanese, nordic (swedish, finnish, norwegian and danish), italian and german design. my favourite designers are dieter rams, naoto fukasawa, charles and ray eames, isamu noguchi, isamu kenmochi, makio hasuike, phillippe starck, karim rashid, eileen gray, charles rennie mackintosh, verner panton, etc...

 

i love design, and design wise i believe in these ideas:

 

less is more. -m. van der rohe

design is the conscious effort to impose meaningful order. -v. papanek

think more design less. -anonymous

the details are not the details, they make the design. -c. eames

 

dieter ram's ten principles for 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 (less, but better).

 

good design isn't just good business, it's a moral obligation. -d.j. de pree
