The trend that never dies: “Reduce with reason”

Less is much more

The world of 2018 is turning us into concise consumers: looking for the most content in the fewest words. Users of simple, functional, attractive and essentialist websites and experiences.

Design with fewer elements, simplified and effective. The “less is more” philosophy does not apply only to aesthetics: today it is a necessary solution for many brands in the face of information overload and the number of images and stimuli that reach consumers every day. A trend that was born with the Bauhaus in 1919, spread in the 1960s with the minimalist art movement, and is still developing today.
