Modern office theme.....less is more (3)

When the set up and furnishing is neat, organised, uncluttered, there will be less visual stress and distraction because what is soothing to the eyes will give a calming effect to the mind.

One part of the jobs of designing is to create illusions ; knowledge and experience to work on what is there, on one part, and making the eyes believe what is not there, on another part.

Modern office theme - less is more (2)

Many modern offices nowadays are favouring the "less is more" theme or trend even when space are not a constraint.

If it is of no use, don't put it there ; if it is not necessary to be so big or many, don't make it so.

That is a good guide to setting up one's office with minimalist theme.

I have this to share about the minimalist theme or style in furnishing and setting up one's office :

the main point is to keep every other things pure and purposeful while ensuring the form follows function.

Something for deliberation (11)

I went to get some document printed at this stationery shop which also provides the service of getting name cards and company's rubber stamps done.

The boss was telling one customer that the price for getting the rubber stamp done was X Ringgit and it would take one week to deliver the goods. If the customer wanted it in one day's time, it could be arranged but the price would be 30% more. And the customer agreed to it.

I believe in some other industry, this concept is also being practised. In our industry, renovation and sub-construction, very often we find customers compare strictly on price. If it is acceptable that it costs you more to have the rubber stamp done faster, why is it not so when you can get the job done faster by company A that company B cannot give you?

Everybody agrees that time is money. When you could save time, you save money. Is it not so?
