Im still reading. So far, pretty good.

I've recently taken an interest in set design. I never knew of Dieter prior to reading, but I have come to find out he is the biggest inspiration behind a lot of products we use today. I dig his philosophy on design being simplistic, and consonant with nature.Good read if you may be interested in designing anything!

54 pages of significant text, the rest is photographs. Not much detail

I'm a product designer and admire Mr. Rams. I thought this book was an in-depth look at his design theory. In actuallity it is a coffee table book full of photographs. Only 1/8 of the book has any significant text and the font is very large and has excessive line spacing. In other words, there is not much discussion here. It is mostly a picture book showing his designs. I should add that many are not so "timeless" and many look like relics from the 60's -70's. The chapter "One Hundred Products in Detail" has almost zero details - just one or two photos. So if you want a coffee table book with plenty of pictures, this is a good one. If you want to learn about Mr. Rams design theory, then this book is lacking. Look elsewhere.Had the book been named "A Tour of Dieter Rams Designs" I would have expected what this book actually is.

Banged up corners

I was very disappointed to see both books banged up at the corners since they weren’t securely wrapped.Since these are expensive books, I expect expected more from the delivery and the packaging quality.

A**R

Overstuffed

This book was a disappointment. The photography is excellent, the presentation beautiful, the execution flawed. There is no linearity, it does not flow. It is repetitive and redundant. There is a whole section on Rams’ house without supportive photographs. I had to look it up online to get the true sense of what it looked like. There were references to products he designed without illustrations. The 10 elements of good design were repeated a number of times as if only to pad out the content of the book. If you want a biography of Dieter Rams look elsewhere.
