Sorry 'Jony'.

I just don't always find clean lines and simplicity universally appealing. Personally, I'd much rather live in a Star Wars-looking world than a Star Trek-looking one.

Sometimes texture and complexity is wonderful. We are made to recognize patterns. IMO a completely Dieter Ramified world would feel pre-chewed.

Amen. I think I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to "tools" and more into flamboyance when there's a social aspect to it (cars, computers, etc).

What I think is most interesting about this is that the Soviet Union is most assuredly "form follows function" but there's something deeply appealing about it.

And Dieter Rams would never design this:
