Dieter Rams. Less But Better

The book Dieter Rams. Less But Better offers a profound and beautifully executed exploration of one of the most impactful industrial designers of our time. Authored by Dieter Rams and published by Gestalten, this 155‑page bilingual volume presents his principles of good design alongside comprehensive visual documentation of his work. Drawing on Rams’s famous tenets—such as simplicity, honesty, durability, and as little design as possible—the book connects design philosophy with concrete products. The layout and production exemplify his ethos: clean typography, generous white space, and high‑quality imagery that allow the content to breathe. Intended for designers, students, and enthusiasts alike, it offers both theoretical insight and visual inspiration. With its minimal design and thoughtful structure, it transcends being merely a monograph to become a crafted object in its own right. Whether on your shelf, desk, or coffee table, this book signals a deep engagement with the essence of design. In short: Less But Better is a timeless reference that honours Rams’s legacy and invites the reader to reflect on purpose, form, and functionality.

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.
