Less and More: the design ethos of Dieter Rams
15th September 2008
Dieter Rams and his influence travels to Japan
It was alleged a few years’ ago that Dieter Rams is “better known in Japan than he is in Germany”.
It therefore seems entirely appropriate that a major exhibition – ‘Less and More, the design ethos of Dieter Rams’ – will open at the Suntory Museum, Osaka on 15 November 2008.
Tracing functionalism as far back as the 12th century’s Cistercian architecture, the exhibition uses Dieter Rams to mediate a reassessment of design and the influences of Rams and his contemporaries on present-day designers.
Should you find yourself in Japan, pop these dates in your diary.
