Dieter Rams is the most important and influential designer of the post war era. As head of design at Braun, the German consumer electronics manufacturer, he revolutionised the design of domestic technology and developed a design language that married technical innovation with a strict formal and functional elegance.

Born in Wiesbaden in Germany in 1932, he first joined Braun in 1954 as an architect and interior designer but soon moved into product design. In his forty-year stretch at Braun he designed (or oversaw the design of) hundreds of products from audio equipment, coffee makers, calculators and cigarette lighters to electric shavers. For Vitsoe he designed the 606 shelving system and 620 chair.

SURFS UP!!!

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ocean swells towering up to 16 feet pounded the Northern California coastline Tuesday as the first of two storm fronts roared through the area with showers creating chaos on local roadways during the Bay Area morning commute.
The National Weather Service reported its off-shore buoy system indicated swell heights near 16 feet every 15 seconds. Wave models predicted westerly swells increasing to around 20-26 feet during the day and then subsiding to around 15 feet by Wednesday afternoon.
The big waves attracted surfers to the coastline, but the southerly winds adversely affected conditions at some popular beaches.
"The waves are so big right now at (San Francisco's) Ocean Beach, they all come at once, there is no way to get out," said Aaron Hope, as he prepared to surf the waves at Fort Point in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. ___________________________________________________
