Edited by Cees W. de Jong with Klaus Klemp, Erik Mattie and Jorrit Maan, this Prestel book walks through each of Dieter Rams's ten principles of good design alongside about a hundred objects that embody them, set in the wider context of modern design history.
A focused overview of Rams's forty-year career, organised around his enduring ten principles for good design. Another window on the SDF's procedural facet — the clearest short statement design has of what 'good' should mean.
Edited by Cees W. de Jong with contributions from Klaus Klemp, Erik Mattie and Jorrit Maan, the Prestel-published book sets out each of Rams's ten principles, such as 'good design is innovative' and 'good design is useful,' alongside roughly a hundred objects that embody them. An accompanying essay places Rams's work in the context of modern design history, from the Bauhaus to Philip Johnson, supported by archival photographs and excerpts from his own writing and speeches.
