Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible

Discover the definitive monograph on Dieter Rams, one of the most influential product designers of the twentieth century. As head of design at Braun from 1961 to 1995, Rams created iconic objects that continue to inspire and sell today.

The book includes detailed text covering his journey, the intellectual context of his time, his designs for Braun and Vitsœ, and the ideas and lectures he developed as an advocate for good design.

Illustrated with sketches, photographs of finished products, and prototypes, it provides insight into Rams's design process. Diverse archival materials offer a comprehensive picture of his life and work, while specially commissioned photographs of his home and the Braun archive provide an exclusive glimpse into the world’s most complete collection of his designs. This comprehensive monograph also highlights Rams's architectural work and his sustainability principles, embodied in his famous "ten principles."
