Why Design


In the book, Hara Design mentioned two ideas, one is to change the world for the purpose of processing and the "club system" and the other is to save material and intelligence for the purpose of "container system." The clothing and household, language and text, including text books, etc. are "container system." His design philosophy, I think the latter is more interested in, that is a "container system" established concept based. He believes that the modern decorative artificial flowers to, which means that economic affluence, national prosperity, which is a demonstration of momentum, and modern society is that everyone is equal society, the state only exists as a system, it is attributed to design simple decoration, mild , minimalist modernism, from the other side it seems that this "subtraction" philosophy, it should also take the "quality" as the most important target to consider, so the simple design, it still has its attraction.

On now this technology-driven society, competing technologies and the creation of more powerful, you can change the angle of the design, such as the culture of everyday life into something to show quiet and delicate cultural forces in Japan, such as clean sheets, clean entrance, then design it in such beauty in the everyday life with Zhao was able to, I think that this is the essence of Hara emphasized designed to carry everything on the "this thing" and "improved" design, making it more and more inherent beauty culture fit the needs of people, the so-called "spiritual" design; Also, the design can not only reflected in our daily lives, it can lead the life, the guide of life, with a design to lead Everything changed values, such as the design has been to "stretch" for the values ​​to look at things, but grew up in new products, seem to leave the fold of those things but has a history of precipitating more attractive, in other words, life , can be designed to influence, is designed to lead, can be designed

I think Hara and Abe different design philosophy, it is a symbol of Japanese and European design features two bar areas, I think this feature should be derived from the formation history and national identity. Historically, the European aristocracy and more, from Scandinavia to Italy, the first rise of the Renaissance, classicism strong, while Europeans enjoy a happy and keen to explore that character, it is both classic and innovative best choice, which among no otherness; while Japan, as Abe said, "In Japan, ranked" low modern furniture, "after the" advanced modern furniture "Overall, Abe and Hara different design concepts, it can be seen as coherent things down, "the" that creative, "down" is to improve the articles is such heritage. materialized in today's society, it seems that the concept of Hara is more suitable for the development of this age, because the contrast and create the new world, to improve and enjoy life now more worthy of our choice.
