Designing Design

Kenya Hara

This book is about doing less, but doing it well.

Hara talks about “emptiness” but not as nothing, as space for something to happen. Instead of filling every gap, good design leaves room for people to engage with it.

There’s a strong focus on clarity, but not the rigid kind. More about reducing noise so what matters can stand out.

Remove what isn’t necessary until only what matters remains.
