The Canon for
"Less, But Better"

The philosophical foundation for the Create Something ecosystem. Curated wisdom from masters who proved that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Weniger, aber besser

Less, but better. This isn't minimalism for aesthetics. It's discipline for clarity. It's constraint for excellence.

Every element must justify its existence. Every principle must withstand scrutiny. Decoration is dishonest. Complexity is lazy. Simplicity is the hardest work.

This is the measuring stick for everything we build at Create Something. Not "What can we add?" but "What must remain?"

How This Guides the Ecosystem

.io

Research

Papers are evaluated against canonical standards. Does this research meet Rams' principles? Does it embody "less, but better"?

.space

Practice

Experiments are designed with canonical frameworks. Each exercise teaches a principle from the masters, not just technical skills.

.agency

Services

Client work is held to these standards. We don't just build—we build according to principles that have stood the test of time.
