Dieter Rams: As Little Design As Possible

As Little Design As Possible | Design | Phaidon Store

Jag hade helt missat att Phaidon har kommit med en ny bok om designmaestro Dieter Rams. Utan honom och hans arbete för Braun hade knappast Apple sett ut som de gör idag. Det finns fler bilder från boken här, och New York Times har recenserat den.

Det kan förresten vara på sin plats att (igen) lyfta fram Rams tio designprinciper:

Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful.
Good design is aesthetic.
Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
Good design is long-lasting.
Good design is thorough down to the last detail.
Good design is environmentally friendly.
Good design is as little design as possible.
