Dieter Rams Complete Works

Dieter Rams is one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. His designs for brands like Braun and Vitsœ have influenced the lives of millions of people. For more than sixty years, he has defined the aesthetic, technical and functional characteristics of some of the world's most beloved consumer products. But Dieter Rams also distinguished himself by his way of looking at the objects that surround us and by his ability to recognize their value and usefulness. Written by design historian Klaus Klemp and produced in close collaboration with Dieter Rams himself, this book is the first catalogue raisonné of the designer's entire body of work, which embodies – both aesthetically and functionally – his unique vision of design. The products, presented chronologically, are accompanied by a detailed description and a complete legend indicating in particular their size and weight. This book is an essential reference guide and is intended as a tribute to Dieter Rams' fundamental contribution to the history of industrial design.
