- 50 years ago, record players didn't look like machines. They looked like old-fashioned, brown wood furniture. But in 1956, Dieter Rams's SK4 record player, nicknamed Snow White's Coffin, changed all that.
I've always loved Dieter's work.
His Universal System wall cabinets are reminiscent of Poul Cadovius' Royal System from the 50's (which was earlier than Rams' design, if I'm not mistaken). So he too was inspired by work that came before him (which is a good thing obviously).
Thank you for sharing! :)
Brilliant! Thank you!
Just bought a Braun T1000cd (the cd designation meaning diplomatic corps) radio. The most stunning radio in my collection. Now if I could only buy a Gropius designed house...viellicht sogar in der naehe von Stuttgart, where I could park my Mercedes.
A good designer is worthless if you don't have a company with a boss that has the balls to approove the design.
Great, thanks
Jonathan Ive owes this guy.
the ipod was an innovation in the sense of.. everyone already had the same product.. they just worked hard into adding more stuff to what everyone had so they could compete... with them.
although I think the most representative of the actions of inspiration made by apple is the xerox scenario...
Great video. Any body care to transpose correctly for Closed Captioning - it's hard to follow his Germanized-English. Thanks.
BRAUN DESIGN RULES
where can I buy the red and black cup standing on desk dieters rams
Dieter Rams invented the record player and the computer and Apple
@illnacord they were inspired by a genius designer..they didnt steal anything
anyone know the name of the background music ?
I am trying to find the best example of the company who has the best design process implemented in it's organization system. Can anybody help ?
Probably a bit late now, but I think a good place to start would be to look at companies like Braun, Vistoe and even Ikea. I believe they did (and perhaps still do) have excellent design processes, based on the designs that came from these companies. It's worth checking out their design processes and philosophies (they tend to integrate Bauhaus design often, for instance).
Despite what he says I think his approach can still be considered fashionable. Apple have proved this.
Tony Swaby They have a style but it's not fashionable in that it doesn't conform to a particular fashion fad. It's minimalist enough to stand the test of time. Apple products from 10 or 20 years ago still look good. I think this is what Rams means - that the design doesn't age, in a way.
Atticus Tayar I disagree, I think Apple is all about fashion.
Atticus Tayar minimalism just like any other fad or trend is recurring as new generations rediscover it.
Tony Swaby fair enough but in that case it's impossible to design something that isn't fashionable.
Atticus Tayar so true.
This is true, but it is not true to say that Dieter Rams invented the iPod.
Dieter Rams never worked for Apple.
This guy invented the ipod and most of what Apple has released to great success decades before. Apples owes this man. The world owes this man.
See the first comment that I replied to, written by illnacord.
Not the iPod though. They "stole" from xerox and then from other people regarding the subsequent software. But the iPod was an innovation.
