Ranging from culture, to architecture, technology and others.

Compared to Germany, that has less experimental approach to design, and focuses more on functionality and purpose, than creativity and expression]]> 2018-01-30 06:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/f16dm0827/d63w3vyn2vow/wish/225947365 janelleeu https://padlet.com/f16dm0827/d63w3vyn2vow/wish/225947402 We prefer Japanese designs.

Whilst there are many innovative and new things coming from Japan, it is one of the only countries that revolves mainly around minimalism or zen so as to make it as universal and timeless as possible.

Germany on the other hand is more forward with their designs and does not mind exploring and innovating completely new products as long as the functionality is there. ]]> 2018-01-30 06:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/f16dm0827/d63w3vyn2vow/wish/225948617 janelleeu https://padlet.com/f16dm0827/d63w3vyn2vow/wish/225949096 In japan it is much more traditional despite the gender neutral culture but however there is still a social barrier where males are still seen as the more dominant gender as compared to the females.

Line, form, space, light and material are but a few of the essential elements central to this widely popular design aesthetic.

German design has a certain minimalist appearance closely linked to the idea of efficiency. German design has a reputation for engineering quality but it often looks very functional and a bit unemotional.]]> 2018-01-30 07:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/f16dm0827/d63w3vyn2vow/wish/225952878
