Dieter Rams's Braun radios (as negative influence) 🔍

Industrial designer (1932 - Present)

Dieter Rams designed ultra-functional, black-and-white, rectilinear radios and appliances for Braun, following strict principles of 'less but better' and visual silence. His products dominated post-war European functionalist design and became the orthodox style Sottsass actively rejected.

Inspired By Dieter Rams's Braun radios (as negative influence) (Looking Forward)

100%

Designer, Architect
Rams's austere, monochrome, rationalist functionalism served as the exact opposite aesthetic that Sottsass needed to rebel against, sparking the deliberately irrational, colorful Memphis movement.
