Highlights
From the book "Design Details: Analysis of Japanese Classic Design", I have selected some sentences or paragraphs with profound meaning, unique perspective, beautiful language or wisdom. Due to space limitations, I will divide these sentences or paragraphs into three parts. The following is the first part (1-7): --- 1. "Design is not just about shape and color, it is also a problem-solving process. Good design lies in the precise grasp of details and how to integrate these details into the whole." 2. "Japanese design is famous for its simplicity, practicality and humanity. Behind this design philosophy is a deep insight into the details of life and a high respect for the needs of users." 3. "A good designer will not be satisfied with the superficial beauty, but will dig deep into every detail of the design to ensure its functionality and durability." 4. "Design does not exist independently, but is closely related to life. From daily necessities to complex machines, every detail of the design reflects the designer's understanding and respect for life." 5. "The concept of 'blank' or 'negative space' in Japanese design is actually a pursuit of simplicity and balance. This design technique gives the viewer room to breathe and think, thereby enhancing the overall effect of the design." 6. "In the design process, the persistent pursuit of details can often bring unexpected innovations. It is precisely because of this attention to detail that Japanese design can stand out worldwide." 7. "Design is not just about creating an object, but also about creating a story. Every detail carries the designer's emotions and ideas, and together they constitute the unique charm of this object." --- The above is the first part. These sentences or paragraphs show the emphasis on details in Japanese design, the relationship between design and life, and the pursuit of simplicity and humanity. The second and third parts will continue to present the wonderful content of this book.
