¿Quieres entender esa devoción casi espiritual que tenía Steve Jobs hacia la simplicidad? Este artículo te ayudará a conocer 7 principios de diseño inspirados por la sabiduría zen, todos ellos alrededor del concepto de shibumi, un concepto japonés imposible de traducir a otros idiomas.
1. Austerity
Koko emphasizes restraint, exclusion, and omission. The goal is to present something that both appears spare and imparts a sense of focus and clarity.
3. Naturalness
The goal of shizen is to strike a balance between being “of nature” yet distinct from it--to be viewed as being without pretense or artifice, while seeming intentional rather than accidental or haphazard.
4. Subtlety
The principle of yugen captures the Zen view that precision and finiteness are at odds with nature, implying stagnation and loss of life, and that the power of suggestion is often stronger than that of full disclosure. Leaving something to the imagination piques our curiosity and can move us to action.
6. Break from routine
Datsuzoku signifies a certain reprieve from convention. When a well-worn pattern is broken, creativity and resourcefulness emerge.
7. Stillness, Tranquillity
The principle of seijaku deals with the actual content of datsuzoku. To the Zen practitioner, it is in states of active calm, tranquillity, solitude, and quietude that we find the essence of creative energy.

5. Imperfection, Asymmetry
The goal of fukinsei is to convey the symmetry of the natural world through clearly asymmetrical and incomplete renderings.
