German term

klare Formensprache

German to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
this is one of the features of an Urban furniture series.
Other characteristics mentioned:
innovativ, zeitloses Design, optimale Funktionalität.

The term is used so often, there must be a "classic" equivalent in English. Can anybody help?

A crucial factor is: does the phrase stand on its own or is it in the middle of a sentence bzw. combined with the other features?
