just enough
January 8th, 2008
A month ago I visited my friend Shereen who lives in The Hague. We went to grad school together where we became friends. On Saturday she took me to Utretch and we visited the Dutch Design Center that exhibits furniture, rugs and diverse objects. When we saw the lamps in photo above we both agreed that they reminded us a lighting project I worked on back in grad school.
My favorite design thinking is Dutch, balanced and beautiful. While we walked through the design center I continued thinking about “Less is more, Less is more, Less is more”… but yesterday I read 10 things I’ve learnt, an article by Milton Glaser. He mentioned among so many other interesting things that “less is not necessarily more” and that a lot of times it can be completely wrong. I have to say that by the end of the article he enriched my view on various things, it is true that “just enough is more”, and that is what dutch design is about –just enough.
