Dieter Rams' design principles can be found in his Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams#%22Good_design%22_principles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieter_Rams#%22Good_design%22_... by the way. He worked for the company Braun and you will most likely recognize some of the iconic designs when searching for it.

- sbr464 8y agoI recommend seeing 'rams' also, it's very well done.
- cpmsmith 8y agoThanks, I didn't know about that. Gary Hustwit is the same person that directed Helvetica, which is a classic design film IMO.
- arawde 8y agoThere is also Objectified, about industrial and product design, which I believe is his best. It has a small segment with Rams in it.
- weinzierl 8y agoWhile Dieter Rams' work was certainly influenced by the Bauhaus he wasn't a member neither of the school nor the movement. Rams was born in 1932 a year before the Bauhaus was pressured to close its doors by the Nazis. He belonged to different generation of artists. Rams is considered a protégé of the Ulm School of Design This school is probably best known for the invention of the iconic Olympic pictograms by one of it's founders and the corporate identity for the German airline Lufthansa.
