The new edition of the benchmark work originally published by the Dieter and Ingeborg Rams Foundation and Jo Klatt. Few product designs have the staying power of creations by Dieter Rams. Almost everything produced by one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century is today considered a classic. This new and revised edition of Less but Better shows once again why Dieter Rams’s approach to design will be relevant for the foreseeable future Ideas of what can and must be achieved by good design are in a constant state of flux as a result of cultural and technological developments. Dieter Rams, however, came up with ten principles that advocate for a purist, almost imperceptible design. These principles are still considered timeless fundaments of design theory and practice today: Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product useful. Good design is aesthetic. Good design helps a product to be understood. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design is consistent to the last detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Good design is as little design as possible. Less but Better does not set out to be a complete documentation of Dieter Rams’s body of work, nor does it claim to tell the full story of the company Braun. Rather, the book explores the ideas, criteria, and methods behind Rams’s creations and reveals how a shifting culture of product manufacturing gave rise to universal design benchmarks. From his reflections on design ethics and values we can distill a clear paradigm for future design —because one principle has remained firm over the years: less is simply better.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Few product designs have the staying power of creations by Dieter Rams. Almost everything produced by the most influential designer of the twentieth century is today considered a classic. This new and revised edition of Less but Better shows once again why Dieter Rams’s approach to design will be relevant for the foreseeable future.

Ideas of what can and must be achieved by good design are in a constant state of flux as a result of cultural and technological developments. Dieter Rams, however, came up with ten principles that advocate for a purist, almost imperceptible design. These principles are still considered timeless fundaments of design theory and practice today: Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product useful. Good design is aesthetic. Good design is helps a product to be understood. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design is consistent to the last detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Good design is as little design as possible.

Less but Better does not set out to be a complete documentation of Dieter Rams’s body of work, nor does it claim to tell the full story of the company Braun. Rather the book explores the ideas, criteria, and methods behind Rams’s creations and reveals how a shifting culture of product manufacturing gave rise to universal design benchmarks. From his reflections on design ethics and values we can distill a clear paradigm for future design―because one principle has remained firm over the years: less is simply better.

No es tapa dura y el contenido está en blanco y negro menos un par de páginas en el centro que están en color. El tamaño me parece demasiado grande, podria ser un poco más pequeño. Para el precio que vale no merece la pena esta edición.

A l’image de son célèbre précepte en design, moins mais mieux (less but more), Dieter Rams explique dans cet ouvrage de près de 150 pages toute la conception et les idées derrière les nombreux produits qu’il a conçu. C’est une ré-édition augmentée et mise à jour d’un ouvrage qu’il a écrit il y a une vingtaine d’année. Le texte en anglais / allemand est simple, accessible et apporte une vue extraordinaire sur le processus de conception de ce génie. Il a même inspiré Jony Ive, qui a dessiné de nombreux modèles iconiques d’Apple (iPod, MacBook, iPhone, Apple Watch). Il y a énormément de belles photographies des produits et des ébauches de plans qui font de la lecture de l’ensemble un plaisir des yeux et de l’esprit. Que vous soyez ou non amateur de design ou de Dieter Rams en particulier, ce bel ouvrage est... essentiel !
