AWARD-WINNING DESIGNS BY DIETER RAMS

AWARD-WINNING DESIGNS BY DIETER RAMS

In 1976, Dieter Rams gave a speech in New York on his design work for Vitsoe. For Rams, his 10 principles for good design were a method of organizing his own thinking about what makes good design. Since then, they have influenced generations of designers, including Apple's former design guru, pioneer and influencer of today's smartphone design - British designer Jonathan Ive. The iPhone calculator was considered a digital version of Rams' Braun devices.
