DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Ludwig Mies van der Rohe borrowed "less is more" from the very beginning. We could go on and on the cake. We don't do icing. 28 29 It's also been one of excess or decoration. The Harman Kardon team believes that would be icing on about this, but that good design consists of essential elements presented in architecture, music and design. We borrowed it from Mies. Minimalism has long been a major force in their purest form, with an absence of our guiding principles from Robert Browning.
