Jon Brooks Portal 08/09/2011: Dieter Rams: Vitsoe, Ten Principles For Good Design

"Vitsoe is the company Dieter Rams formed with Otto Zapf in 1959 as an outlet for his designs which would not fit into the Braun catalogue. His most famous Vitsoe design, the 606 modular shelving system, has just celebrated 50 years of manufacture and is still as relevant as it was when first designed. Dieter Rams continues to design products for Vitsoe to this day. This particular link provides an essential reader on his Ten Principles For Good Design, which is a must read if you're to fully appreciate his design work."
Jon Brooks's Music For Dieter Rams (out on Cafe Kaput) and As The Crow Flies (recorded under his The Advisory Circle moniker, released on Ghost Box) are reviewed by Mark Fisher in The Wire 321.
