Dieter Rams

Currently exhibiting at the Design Museum is 'Less and More- The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams'. I very much enjoyed this exhibition, although I wish it had been on while I was doing a project on Braun as this would have been very useful. Could have stayed much longer than I did, but went to close to closing time.

"As head of design at Braun, the German consumer electronics manufacturer, Dieter Rams emerged as one of the most influential industrial designers of the late 20th century by defining an elegant, legible, yet rigorous visual language for its products. The exhibition will showcase Rams’ landmark designs for Braun and furniture manufacturer VitsÅ“, examine how Rams’ design ethos inspired Braun’s entire product range for over 40 years, and assess his lasting influence on today’s design landscape."
