Dieter Rams designed products to last, is horrified how we throw things away

For more than 50 years, Rams made an indelible mark on product design, predominantly at the German electronics company Braun, with a focus on function over form and products that would last a lifetime. The effects of his influence are extraordinary — a legacy that transformed the nature of consumer products and, some would argue, defined the concept of good design. Rams’ touch can be seen when comparing Braun products with iconic Apple designs.
