Thoughts on minimalist design

I came across this elegant post The art of minimalist design.on Jonas Bonér's blog. Althought the central focus is software design the scope of his piece runs much wider.

I especially liked the clarity of this quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry “Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.”

There's also some good stuff about cohesion and integrity in design.
