Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible

A lovely book, and a great well rounded look at the work of Dieter Rams and the teams around him. Very interesting look at Braun and the culture that allowed Rams to flourish. A beautiful book, great images, good writing. Recommended for anyone remotely interested in Rams work or the period covered.

if you like design , and good design at that , you will love this book , that is beautiful in itself, amazing photographs of the products his home , work in progress , not just with braun , but his furniture design as well , well worth the money

Loved the book, lots of information topped off with wonderful pictures with a quality print, the book also has a textured cover, finishing it off as a beautiful product. Would recommend to any design/architecture student

The book is well made, aligned, structured. Good quality of everything - materials it's made from, text, unique pictures. It definitely follows the rule "As little design as possible"

Lovely archival book to keep with you forever. Nice photos and great for inspiration

one of my favorites. highly recommend to all. makes for an excellent present too

An outstandingly authored tome relating to the most superb product/industrial design. little of which, as far as I know, is very unfortunatley not in production and should be.

This amazing book shows the best products ever designed by one of the best designers. Where Apple search his references!

Non può mancare a un designer…

Several books about Braun Design and Dieter Rams have appeared in recent years. To my knowledge, this Phaidon volume is the most comprehensive and detailed. The books I have purchased in the past were mostly comprised of black and white photographs accompanied by texts in German and English. This book, written entirely in English extensively chronicles Dieter Rams history and his involvement with Braun AG. With a forward written by Jonathan Ive, probably the designer most indebted to the mid century design of Braun AG, this book shows how the industrial designs of Dieter Rams and Braun AG have come to influence industrial designers in the time of the 2000s. The first Jo Klatt book, Braun+Design Collection has extensively pictured virtually every Braun product made, but the text is German. Less but Better, also by Klatt is written in German and English, and it recounts the rich history of Dieter Rams and Braun. However, after acquiring and reading it, I wished to know more and see more. The Phaidon book is satisfying. There are many photographs of the quintessential Rams designs, and many are in color. Also included are surprising photographs of shelves in storage rooms at Braun AG stacked with successive versions of various product. The book is beautifully designed and printed. The cover is cleverly embossed with a texture reminiscent of a Braun razor. Should one want a single book about this important desingner, Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible is the book to have.

ディーター・ラムスのデザインの10か条がいいなと思ってこの本を見つけて買ってみた。大きくて厚くとても重いが、モノとしてラムスが手掛けた製品のような雰囲気があって好きになった。アップルのジョナサン・アイヴが序文。
