Minimalism#Minimalist design

The saying less is more is an oxymoron, which has become a household word. In today's most common form - less is more - it was probably first used in the 1855 poem Andrea del Sarto by Robert Browning. Christoph Martin Wieland was to consider in 1774: " And less is often more. " Ludwig Mies van der Rohe attacked the look on during the 20th century and coined the minimalism (architecture).

In the disciplines of design and architecture, the currency is very often used as a motto or slogan. What is meant is that the design of a text, designs, or design the reduction to the essentials often leads to a better result than the overload nichtssagendem accessories. Behind this is the idea of minimalism ( art ).
