Mark Twain famously wrote “If I had more time I would write a shorter letter” and I am in danger myself of over-thinking this modernist designer’s theories, but these lessons are indeed what Dieter Rams has spent the past 79 years striving to achieve and to pass on to would-be designers.

Tron Legacy: The Making of UI/Visual Effects
Josh Nimoy:
In addition to visual effects, I was asked to record myself using a unix terminal doing technologically feasible things. I took extra care in babysitting the elements through to final composite to ensure that the content would not be artistically altered beyond that feasibility. I take representing digital culture in film very seriously in lieu of having grown up in a world of very badly researched user interface greeble….
In Tron, the hacker was not supposed to be snooping around on a network; he was supposed to kill a process. So we went with posix kill and also had him pipe ps into grep. I also ended up using emacs eshell to make the terminal more l33t. The team was delighted to see my emacs performance — splitting the editor into nested panes and running different modes. I was tickled that I got emacs into a block buster movie.
I still haven’t even seen the movie, and most of Josh’s programming jargon is beyond me. But his account of the software written exclusively for the movie is fascinating nonetheless.

LEDA SEAT Leda Seat is a totally original design - an elegant, interactive sculpture for the home or office. Its seductive curves are created by a series of plywood hoops on laser-cut anodised aluminium legs that offer a choice of comfortable seating positions. Leda is designed to be timeless rather than comply with any current trend or style - it’s intended to last and to be loved for a lifetime. (via Woodmark)
