DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS AN ETHOS.

When it comes to design, for example comparing Japanese design versus German design, and American design: think this, all design philosophies have an underlying ethos and philosophy behind it.

For example, Japanese design, for example Toyota: kaizen design, which means that every single new generation is just a little bit better, and the goal is to indefinitely become better. But there is no perfection.

German design is all about precision, cold and hard lines, and stoic strength. More focused on classics, classic design, in the past. More of an industrial feel. Bauhaus.

American design is about extreme innovation, starting carte Blanche, more focused on the future than the past. Less of a solid identity, more fluid. More progressive and optimistic.

What’s the best?

Perhaps an ultimate hybrid and cross over between the Japanese, German and American design?
