DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe borrowed “less is more” from the poet
Robert Browning, implementing that aesthetic in his building designs.
We borrowed it from Mies. While minimalism has become a major force
in architecture, music and design, it has also been one of our guiding
principles from the very beginning. At Harman Kardon, we believe that
good design consists of essential elements presented in their purest
form, with an absence of excess or embellishment. We could go on and
on about this, but that would be icing on the cake. We don’t do icing.
