About this product

Product Information

Exquisitely produced to reflect Dieter Rams' aesthetic philosophy, this book, now available in paperback, presents highlights from a forty-year career designing iconic consumer products that enhance our daily lives. 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, categorised 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. AUTHOR: Cees W. De Jong is an author of numerous books and a curator of exhibitions on design, typography, and architecture. 400 colour illustrations

    Excellent Quality. Brand New. Looks very Nice! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication XL+, very helpful & pleasant. Packaging XL+. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a B'day present w/o the Gift wrap. Post cost's definitely XL+ being FREE. Excellent delivery time. Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk 780km from the coast, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much. XL+

    The item was exactly as advertised, with no damage to the cover or pages. It was packed quite securely, with no chance to slip around and get bumped corners. The price was very affordable, considering it isn't easy to track down a copy. I only marked down one star because it took some time to ship out, which could have been better communicated in the listing. Still, highly recommend the seller.
