The Art of Living Better, With Less

Legendary industrial designer Dieter Rams discusses his iconic 606 Universal Shelving System and the ten essential points of his design philosophy

"What is required, in essence, is a change in perspective, as well as a shift in values. In this way, it becomes possible to approach the art of living better while consuming less. We can begin this process with the observation, reinterpretation, and utilization of all the good things that have already been produced. For example, we can select and recontextualize some of the most significant proposals of German design, in order to identify new design guidelines"
