From the Store: Dieter Rams, American football and nine years of projects from Ateljé Altmann

Dieter Rams is one of the most influential product designers of the 20th century, who, for more than sixty years, defined the look, feel and function of the world’s most loved consumer items. Using his ten principles for good design as a philosophy and practice for improving the design industry in a more holistic, responsible way, Rams has a worldclass reputation with global resonance. Made in close collaboration with Rams himself, this book forms a catalogue raisonné of every product that he designed in his lifetime – forming a true celebration of his seminal contribution to the field of industrial and product design. Including 300 colour illustrations, the book is organised chronologically – in which each product is accompanied by a detailed description and specification breakdown, making this a one-of-a-kind reference guide.
