GOOD DESIGN >
1. Is InnovativeΒ : The possibilities for innovation are not, by any means, exhausted. Technological development is always offering new opportunities for innovative design. But innovative design always develops in tandem with innovative technology, and can never be an end in itself.
2. Makes a Product UsefulΒ : A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product while disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it.
3. Is AestheticΒ : The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products are used every day and have an effect on people and their well-being. Only well-executed objects can be beautiful.
4. Makes A Product UnderstandableΒ : It clarifies the productβs structure. Better still, it can make the product clearly express its function by making use of the userβs intuition. At best, it is self-explanatory.
5. Is UnobtrusiveΒ : Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the userβs self-expression.
6. Is HonestΒ : It does not make a product more innovative, powerful or valuable than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept
7. Is Long-lastingΒ : It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years β even in todayβs throwaway society.
8. Is Thorough Down to the Last DetailΒ : Nothing must be arbitrary or left to chance. Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer.
9. Is Environmentally FriendlyΒ : Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment. It conserves resources and minimises physical and visual pollution throughout the lifecycle of the product.
10. Is as Little Design as PossibleΒ : Less, but better β because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.

Such a Little TearΒ …
As affairs go, it was short-lived. We bid adieu to the Twingo β from these shores at least.
Barely pausing for breath following the announcement of a mid-life revision to their entry-level Twingo, Renault subsequently announced that the refreshed model will henceforth be withdrawn from these islands. (UK)
