Two years ago, I visited sfMoMa for a Dieter Rams exhibit. As a non-designer, his works were beautiful yet foreign. If anything, I walked away with a little more understanding of what good design is. Over the weekend, after watching the documentary, Objectified, I found myself contemplating more about his 10 golden design principles, which is essentially the bible to good design
1. Good design is innovative
2. Good design makes a product useful
3. Good design is aesthetic
4. Good design makes a product understandable
5. Good design is unobtrusive
6. Good design is honest
7. Good design is long lasting
8. Good design is thorough down to the last detail
9. Good design is environmentally friendly
10. Good design is as little design as possible
