Dieter Rams - His Amazing Designs & Living Better With Less

Dieter Rams was inspired by his father who was a carpenter and pursued a career in architecture. In 1955 he turned his eye to product design and joined Braun. He went on to create some of the worlds most functional, classic, timeless design pieces in the last century. This man truly gives Jonathan Ive a run for his money.

Mr. Rams introduced the idea of sustainable development in the 70's, this message is at the core of most product designers today.

Us Londoners are lucky enough to have this mans work exhibiting at the Design Museum until the 17th of November.

Nike Air Design Inspiration

This is a fascinating video featuring Tinker Hatfield, the man who invented the Nike Air. 

It's amazing to see where people get their inspiration from and it proves that sometimes those from completely un-related fields can inject originality and fresh perspective into all areas of design and business.

Jonathan Ive Talks About Design

There are very few, if any companies that care about design as much as Apple. This is shown in every product they make, except for the mighty mouse.

One of the best quotes from this video is when Jonathan says that good design is when people pick something up and realise that it shouldn't be designed any other way. I think this was the case with the iPod and to some extent the iPhone.
