Dieter Rams: As Little Design As Possible / Phaidon, 2011
A monograph on the influential product designer Dieter Rams. The fascinating life story of Dieter Rams is laid out in a classic reading book format, with a margin references to corresponding images. Alongside the historic sketches, prototypes, and product shots of Rams's work, are three sets of photographic portfolios taken at Rams's house in Kronberg, and at the Braun Archive. The cover is printed in a special silk screen technique with raised transparent ink that gives a tactile feel to the design detail. This book is the first to use the unreleased proportional weight of the Lineto font Lettera.
