The Courage to Design Less
We live in a time that keeps adding.
More shapes, more features, more noise.
Design is not immune. Many objects ask for attention. They compete with the room. They try to win the scene. I chose the opposite direction.
Removing is harder than adding.
Reduction exposes you.
It leaves no place to hide.
When I design a lamp, my first gesture is not to create.
It is to eliminate.
I remove anything that is not necessary to light.
Decorative gestures. Unneeded lines. Cheap drama.
Because light does not need noise.
A minimalist lamp is not simple.
It is radical.
Every millimeter must have a reason.
Every proportion must hold its balance.
Every shadow must be predicted.
This is why “less” is never a shortcut. It is responsibility. When nothing distracts, only the truth of the form remains.
Dieter Rams said it clearly: good design is “as little design as possible”. That sentence is not a style. It is a discipline.
My lamps do not try to impress in daylight. They accept being quiet.
But in the evening, when the room lowers its voice and shadows begin to exist, they start to speak. With precision. Without spectacle.
I do not want to make objects.
I want to create presence.
And presence is born from control, not excess.
