Minimalist design originated in the early 20th century after World Wars I and II and the Great Depression. It was influenced by abstract art like De Stijl and the Bauhaus school of architecture. Minimalist design focuses on simplifying forms to their essential elements and uses negative space. Functional design is based on an object's purpose, with form following function and using grids for organization.
