Less, But Better

If you summarized the primary concept you live by in the fewest words possible, what would you say?

For inspiration some of us might look to philosophy or religion. Søren Kierkegaard, for example, believed “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Jesus said, “treat others as you would want to be treated.”

Dieter Rams is one of the world’s foremost designers. We are fortunate to own one of his record players, a 1960’s SK-61 (you’ll find a photo of it at on-emotions.com). Rams’ famous design philosophy is “less, but better.”

If we think about it, that’s a fascinating concept to apply to how we cook, shop, decorate, write, create, serve, and live our lives.
