Any form of art (including Industrial Design) has to have a very strong sense of composition. The strength of all classical art forms including architecture is based on ‘ratios and proportions’. Every composition is based on the fundamentals of Design Elements and Principles. Hence, composition has remained the center of any creativity (art, music, stage play, literature, etc).

Modern architecture (Plate10) truly reflects the essence of minimalist ethos that emits from their appearance. The large open spaces with little ornamentation clearly show the clean structural elements. The use of ‘mass and void’ reflects the essence of pure form with minimal colors.

The modern kitchen design (plates11) has introduced the ‘modular kitchen design’ that is developed around the concept of minimalist approach. The kitchen area is clear from any obstructions and generates a sense of cleanliness and reflects the urban sentiment. The traditional kitchen has given passage to young generation for an advanced hi-tech kitchen environment. The present kitchen is a place for meeting and dinning. People are proud to display their kitchen set up. The minimalist aesthetics has certainly given a remarkable change in modern day kitchens in term of form, space and color. The use of off-white color or magenta color in contrast to off-white colors with proper lighting has changed the environment of the traditional Indian kitchen. Minimalist concepts with modular design have remarkably worked well with the modern day lifestyle.
