Dieter Rams. The Complete Works

Dieter Rams is one of the most influential product designers of the twentieth century, whose designs for companies such as Braun and Vitsoe have impacted the lives of millions of people. For more than sixty years he has been defining the look, feel and function of some of the world's best-loved consumer items. But beyond this, Rams's way of seeing and interpreting the things that we surround ourselves with, his ability to identify whether something has purpose or value, is what really sets him apart as a designer.
Authored by design historian Klaus Klemp, and made in close collaboration with Rams himself, this book is the first of its kind to present Rams's entire catalogue of works in a way that embodies - both visually and functionally -his inimitable design vision. Organized chronologically, each product is accompanied by a detailed description and specification breakdown, making this the ultimate reference guide - and a true celebration of Rams's seminal contribution to industrial and product design history.
