Less But Better


I went to a talk by Dieter Rams at the V&A last week, with no tickets and 30 people on the waiting list, for a long time it looked like I wouldn't get to hear him. Yet perseverance paid off and a group of about 10 of us were let in for free!

I really enjoyed the talk, Rams is a charismatic designer, with his thick German accent and quick wit, I listened intently to what he had to say. His designs for Braun in the 1950s are believed to have inspired those of the Apple iPod, iPhone and iMac. This influence is clear when comparing the products, the beauty of his work is created by its simplicity.
