Description

Less and More is Gestalten Verlag’s comprehensive retrospective of Dieter Rams, Germany’s most influential living designer.

In his more than 40 years at Braun, Dieter Rams has undoubtedly established himself as one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. His clear and elegant visual language has not only shaped product design for decades, but also the fundamental understanding of what design is, can and should do.

In fact, Dieter Rams' ten design theses are as relevant today as they were 20 years ago when he first formulated them: Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product understandable. Good design is aesthetic. Good design makes a product usable. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design is consistent down to the last detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Good design is as little design as possible.

Dieter Rams' understanding of design is explained in detail in Less and More. The book brings together images of hundreds of products designed by Rams, as well as sketches and models - from Braun stereo systems and razors to the seating and shelving systems he created for Vitsœ and his own company sdr+. These works are not only presented through numerous photos, but are also given a contemporary context through new texts by international design experts. The timeless quality of his designs and the process by which they were created are also illuminated. Dieter Rams' work is thus being reassessed in line with the times, particularly against the backdrop of the rediscovery of functionality and rationality in contemporary design. Less and More impressively shows the possibilities that design opens up for manufacturers and consumers - as a means of making our lives better through beautiful, functional solutions that at the same time conserve resources in a sustainable manner.

The editors of Less and More are Prof. Dr. Klaus Klemp and Keiko Ueki-Polet. As one of the leading experts in the field of product design, who has known Dieter Rams for many years, Klaus Klemp knows his work like almost no one else. Keiko Ueki-Polet is one of the most renowned design curators in Japan, is very familiar with design developments in both East and West and works at the Suntory Museum in Osaka.
