Abstract

For decades, anyone who cared about product design looked to the Braun label when choosing their appliances, radios, and other consumer items. Now Dieter Rams, the guiding force behind the Braun look, breaks down his design principles and processes in this elegant book. Enumerating each of his ten principles such as good design is innovative; good design is aesthetic; good design is useful, etc., this book presents one hundred items that embody these guidelines. Readers will find items that are familiar such as the ubiquitous coffee grinder but also those that are more unusual such as shelving systems and cigarette lighters. A fascinating essay places Dieter Rams in the context of modern design, from Bauhaus to Philip Johnson. Archival materials include photos of Rams? design team and excerpts from his publications and speeches. The book closes with a chronological overview of design icons, categorized by function, that show the enormous breadth of Rams? vision. Taken together, these images and texts offer the most comprehensive overview of Dieter Rams? work to date and will serve as both a reference and an inspiration for anyone interested in how and why good design matters.Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/dieter-rams-ten-principles-for-good-design-2/

Abstract

In the more than 40 years that he spent working at Braun, Dieter Rams established himself as one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century. His elegantly clear visual language not only defined product design for decades, but also our fundamental understanding of what design is and what it can and should do.Less and More elucidates the design philosophy of Dieter Rams. The book is the ultimate collection of images of all of Rams?s products as well as selected sketches and models ? from Braun stereo systems and electric shavers to the chairs and shelving systems that he created for Vits? and sdr+. In addition to the complete visual presentation of his designs, the book contains new texts by international design experts that explain how the work was created, describe its timeless quality, and put it into current context. In this way, the work of Dieter Rams is given a contemporary reevaluation that is especially useful in light of the rediscovery of functionalism and rationalism in today?s design. Less and More shows us the possibilities that design opens for both the manufacturer and the consumer as a means of making our lives better through attractive, functional solutions that also save resources..Bron : https://www.copyrightbookshop.be/shop/less-and-more-the-design-ethos-of-dieter-rams/

Abstract

Dieter Rams is one of the most influential product designers of the twentieth century. Even if you don?t immediately recognize his name, you have almost certainly used one of the radios, clocks, lighters, juicers, shelves or hundreds of other products he designed.He is famous not only for this vast array of well-formed products, but for his remarkably prescient ideas about the correct function of design in the messy, out-of-control world we inhabit today. These ideas are summed up in his ?ten principles? of good design: good design is innovative, useful, and aesthetic. Good design should be make a product easily understood. Good design is unobtrusive, honest, durable, thorough, and concerned with the environment. Most of all, good design is as little design as possible.In that spirit, this monograph Dieter Rams. As Little Design As Possible is as little book as possible. It is a clear, comprehensive and beautiful presentation of Dieter Rams? life and his work. It is a must-have book for anyone interested in Rams? work, his legacy, and his ideas about how to live.Bron : https://www.naibooksellers.nl/dieter-rams-as-little-design-as-possible-sophie-lovell.html
