The Design

About Less is More Silla

La inspiración para esta cátedra fue un resumen de la pandemia vivida en los últimos años y las lecciones aprendidas. El diseño siempre ha representado aspectos sociales, y hoy en día un producto necesita representar estos elementos clave como la comodidad, la ausencia de excesos y la sostenibilidad más que nunca. La simplicidad es a menudo lo más difícil de lograr. Para ser sencillo es necesario eliminar los excesos y lo innecesario y esto se puede lograr en la vida y también en el diseño. El resultado es una silla minimalista, elegante y sostenible.
