Dieter Rams on The Culture Show

 

When I first came across this video it was a history lesson. Learning how much Dieter Rams has influenced the product design of apple was great. One of the many things that I respected that Dieter said when the interviewer said “they have stolen your design” then Dieter Said “no its a compliment”.

The 606 is a shelf that I would not mind to have being an avid reader. I do love the aspect of designing furniture that will last your whole life.

Dieter Rams Principles for Good Design

Dieter Rams is a industrial designer. He designed a bunch of products for  Braun and Vistoe. When I found out about Dieter Rams from watching the objectified documentary I was in awe. His approach to design really made me think about the work that I do. His Ten principles are what I tend to base my work around when i’m in the process. 


1.should be Innovative
2. makes a product useful
3. has to be aesthetic
4.makes a product understandable
5. is honest
6. unobtrusive
7. sustainable
8. is consequent
9. ecofriendly
10. last but least good design is to be less as possible


A lot of Apple products are inspired by Dieter Rams. For example the iMac (the desktop) apple computer is inspired by a Dieter Rams Product. The way I found out was from Watching Objectified Here’s link to the Part 1 of the Full documentary here
