Dieter Rams turns 93 on May 20th. Every year on Dieter Rams’ birthday, we stream “Rams” free worldwide!
Available through today (May 21), according to BoingBoing, which also reminds us of Rams’ design impact:
Even if you don’t know his name, you likely know of his beautifully austere designs for Braun audio and houseware designs from the 1950s through the 1990s. His philosophy of “less, but better” (Weniger, aber besser) and his ten principles of good design have profoundly influenced modern industrial design, most notably through his impact on Apple’s Jonathan Ive.
Timely, given today’s Jony Ive news.
