Dieter Rams: As Little Design As Possible

The definitive monograph on Dieter Rams, whose decades leading Braun produced some of the twentieth century's most quietly perfect objects. A deep study of the SDF's procedural facet made visible in a lifetime of restrained Outcomes. Written by Sophie Lovell and published by Phaidon, the book draws on sketches, prototypes and archival material, including commissioned photographs of Rams's own house and the Braun archive, to trace his work across Braun and Vitsoe and his one architectural project. It includes interviews with contemporary industrial designers reflecting on his continuing influence and on the ideas about sustainable living embedded in his ten principles.
