In his more than 40 years at Braun, Dieter Rams established himself as one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century.
True to the principle of “less but better” his elegantly clear visual language not only defined product design for generations, but also our fundamental understanding of what design is and what it can and should do.
Less and More offers boundless inspiration for anyone interested in the aesthetic and functional aspects of applied design.
