Less and More: The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams

Beautifully printed soft-cover book with thin board slip case. I have several books on Rams and Braun, but this one is almost certainly the best. The main focus here is on Rams with examples of his work for Braun and other companies. Beyond beautifully photographed examples of Braun classics, the book also looks at sketches, prototypes of unrealized products, and even engineering models for some items. Highly interesting with well-written text in English and German.

I own many books on Rams and his work but this book is by far the best. Not only is the content of this book excellent, but the quality of materials and the craft of the product is stunning. It was without a doubt worth the $50 I paid.

I really like this book. It's very unique and very well made. Beautiful pictures, quality paper, and i really like the cover (Its like a matte finish vinyl) and the sleeve that protects the book is awesome.Its the kind of book you want out where you and others can see it.

One of the best books I now own. Every design freak like me must have this. Simplicity is elegance was the thrust of his work, and nowhere have I seen it taken to these levels. His work has obviously influenced many in his field. It's easy to see the influence in apple's design, for example. Buy this book. Uncluttered, beautiful design at your fingertips.

If you are passionate about design, you need to add this book to your collection! But most of it is in German...

This book is beautifully crafted, following the design principles of Dieter Rams in it's construction as well. It is a soft cover, and the text pages are bible thin, yet have a great resolution. The color photography is in a different, extremely high quality gloss paper. The book is based on an expo by Dieter Rams and Braun on 40 years of design. Great lessons to be learned from one of the greatest minds of the 20/21st century.

This book is awesome. Good pictures and text.

I love it. Delivered fast
