Simplicity is always harder to achieve than complexity. In the aggregate, complexity has more opportunity for wrong choices. But those mistakes will be a smaller percentage of the overall choices you make.
Swiss industrial designer Carlo Clopath carves a cow out of a block of wood with 4 cuts. And those four cuts are really just 2 design choices. Front and back.
One wrong choice and 50% of the figurine’s profile is diminished.
Appreciate simplicity because it is always harder to achieve.
