Simplify is one of the oldest design mandates. Less is more. I enjoy these classic experiences and products like anyone but we live in a society of excess where you can never have enough. More features, more pixels, the biggest, the best, and it’s never-ending. As someone who indulges in completionism, I fall into the trap of our age–Gotta catch ’em all! I’ve paired down and fought these urges over the years. I still have too much physical stuff, but most of it is art and books. I usually feel that these don’t count.
