DESCRIPTION:
Almost everything produced by one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century is today considered a classic. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design helps a product to be understood. Good design makes a product useful. From his reflections on design ethics and values we can distill a clear paradigm for future design because one principle has remained firm over the years: less is simply better.. These principles are still considered timeless fundaments of design theory and practice today: Good design is innovative. Dieter Rams, however, came up with ten principles that advocate for a purist, almost imperceptible design. Good design is aesthetic. Rather, the book explores the ideas, criteria, and methods behind Rams’s creations and reveals how a shifting culture of product manufacturing gave rise to universal design benchmarks. Good design is consistent to the last detail. This new and revised edition of Less but Better
Dieter is amazing! Just a beautiful book, just wish it had more color photos, but a beauty of a book!. "I wish the pictures were larger, but it's a" according to RoboDad. I wish the pictures were larger, but it's a bargain for a design book this specialized. Fascinating look at Rams' design process and history.. "Five Stars" according to Dan Zhang. Good to read.
