Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible

The book Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible offers an expansive and beautifully crafted portrait of one of industrial design’s most influential figures. Through rich, large‑format photography and in‑depth commentary, it showcases Rams’s work across decades—and the development of his famed “Ten Principles for Good Design.” This hardcover volume includes detailed examinations of his iconic products, thoughtful essays, and contextual stories that place his work within broader design, cultural, and environmental movements. The layout and production quality reflect the very clarity and intentionality of Rams’s approach to objects and everyday tools. It serves as both a visual feast and a reference resource, balancing aesthetic pleasure with design thinking. Intended for designers, students, and anyone fascinated by the shape of things we live with, the book invites readers into a deep engagement with form, function, and ethics. More than a biography, it is a curated artefact—one that parallels Rams’s belief that good design should be “as little design as possible.”

VARUD means danger zone in Iceland 🇮🇸. This website is my personal version of that zone - filled with design, minimalism, and everything dangerously aesthetic. My wishlist keeps getting longer (and pricier) every day. So I turned temptation into curation — a space to admire without always buying.
