GOOD DESIGN

I am convinced thet a good design should be based on reliable 

and simple products, where beauty and technology perfectly intertwine,

but most of all a good design has to surpass fashion, to be modern but 

long-lasting. When a design is “good”, it lasts and becomes a “good” business.The best way to define a Good Design is to quote Dieter Rams:

he loved listing 10 rules a designer should follow to achieve a 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
