The study aims to explore the thread of theory and the presentation of minimalism in the modern design related fields. It also explored concrete research objectives on the similarities and differences of implementing ideas and thoughts of minimalism in modern design in Japan, Germany and Italy. Its contents include: 1) By means of exploring the thread of thought of development of minimalism history and taking through-time thread of development as axis, it explored the source, tracks of development, definition of ideas of minimalism in modern design and in trans-related-fields of different arts. 2) Through the exploration of thread of thought and nature of minimalism, extend the exploration of presentation of ideas of minimalism to the different fields of modern design. 3) By means of Germany, Italy and Japan that have clear characteristics of design culture, it explored the impacts in various aspects of modern design related fields and their differences of implementation.
To achieve above-mentioned objectives of research, the research explored the properties of minimalism by methods of literature analysis, comparative researches. The results of research as follows:
The minimalist concept goes beyond time, regions and all different cultures. It is regional but it is also global. The collision, confluence and comparison of two natures strengthen the all human beings’ consciousness, refine out art design and nature of human beings and create together the “modernity” that they want to present.
The root of presentation of minimalist aesthetics is humanistic and scientific phenomenon. But it is difficult to logically analyze and divide humanistic phenomenon in details. The natural primitivity and modern puzzles cannot be easily cleared by scientific clarity.
By and large minimalist arts uphold similar creative ideas, but their routes and emphases of creation are different. Although their creations are not involved in personal emotions, they are very personalizing. However, the final purpose of minimalism of creative thought and humanistic spirits is not going to drift to indefiniteness but return to root.
Human beings’ sense of minimalist aesthetics will be different with the their individualities and randomness. It would rather understand German, Italian and Japanese attitudes toward minimalism and their differences of presentation as the different profiles of human spirits that are shown in different positions than attribute them to a certain nature of region. A particular emphasis itself emerged n the comparison as a whole carries much vagueness and variability. But anyway the emphasis exists.
After interpreting the differences of German, Italian and Japanese ideas about minimalist design in cultures, it was found that under Bauhaus’s influence, the Germans lay particular emphasis on function and practice while from the starting point of cultural philosophy, the Italians emphasize on sensible minimalism and Japanese minimalism carry thought of plainness of “Chan”. The differences of ideas reflect impressively people’s lifestyles in modern design.
The physical differences of minimalist design in Germany, Italy and Japan are: German designs often present mechanical and cold acute angles, straight lines and hard lines while Italian designs present sensible curves, arcs and obtuse angles and Japanese designs stress on non-symmetrical, straight gridiron in which the plain atmosphere of Chan and low-profile approach emit the strong taste that is excluded by dexterous and smart aesthetics.
The similarities of minimalist designs shown in Germany, Italy and Japan are: Lines are always concise and dexterous, most appear in the form of geometry, simplified physique, emphasize on the appearance of sense of materials, least colors, least images. Their common characteristics are making a painstaking investigation to extract the most basic substance, striving for clean and flawless appearance, generating sheer visual stimuli and psychological shocks after cleaning and filtering.
Finally, the research discussed above-mentioned results and summarized to induct conclusions, presented the appearance of thread of thought and ideas of minimalism in modern design related fields. Also by means of analyzing the similarities and differences of implementing ideas and thoughts of minimalism in modern design in Japan, Germany and Italy, presented related factors of influence and recommendations for follow-up researches’ reference.
