Ten principles,
for reference.

Our objects are measured against a short list borrowed from Dieter Rams. We reprint it here unchanged. If a product can stand next to these ten lines without embarrassment, it leaves the workshop.

  1. 01

    Good design is innovative.

    It does not, for the sake of it, repeat what exists.

  2. 02

    Good design makes a product useful.

    Nothing distracts from that usefulness.

  3. 03

    Good design is aesthetic.

    Well-executed objects are at ease in the hand and the room.

  4. 04

    Good design is understandable.

    It explains itself. At best, it needs no explanation.

  5. 05

    Good design is unobtrusive.

    Objects are tools, not decoration.

  6. 06

    Good design is honest.

    It is what it appears to be, and no more.

  7. 07

    Good design is long-lasting.

    It avoids fashion and therefore never looks dated.

  8. 08

    Good design is thorough, down to the last detail.

    Nothing is arbitrary or left to chance.

  9. 09

    Good design is environmentally friendly.

    It conserves resources and minimises physical and visual pollution.

  10. 10

    Good design is as little design as possible.

    Less, but better.
