Dieter Rams: London Exhibition 2009

Retrospective of a distinguished European designer

The Design Museum in London is hosting an exhibition of the work of Dieter Rams, a product designer for Braun who became one of the most prominent industrial artists of the late twentieth century. His work, which strictly adhered to a set of ten design principles, has subsequently held a profound influence on contemporary product design: perhaps most notably, on Jonathan Ives' work for Apple Mac.
