The Seven Principles for Good Design

The Seven Principles for Good Design, proposed by Dieter Rams, guide creating functional and appealing products. They emphasize that good design is innovative and makes a product useful, not just attractive. Good design is honest, not pretending to be something it’s not, and it lasts over time, avoiding trends. It seeks to be as little design as necessary — simple and unobtrusive. It considers every detail for quality and ease of use, ensuring the product is environmentally friendly. Overall, these principles aim to create designs that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing everyday life without excess or waste.
