Design Principles

From complexity to simplicity.

Everyday Experiences

  • Only tackle everyday activities that appear to be overly complex.

  • Focus on the essence and value of the activity.

  • Help the user engage in a mindful way.

  • Redesigned the activity from fundamentals.

User Experience

  • Consider the full user experience, from purchase and preparation to storage, maintenance, and eventual replacement.

  • Design for all aspects of user interaction, including functional, tactile, aesthetic, and cognitive elements.

  • Minimize the user’s resource burden, especially in terms of time and cost.

Immortal Products

  • Strive to create immortal products through simplification and materials selection.

  • Reduce packaging to essentials.

  • Select materials that minimize total environmental impact.

It is only our arrogance that prompts us to find unnecessarily complicated answers to simple problems.
