Rams
It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for, probably our favourite design documentary in recent years, now available to view, for no charge whatsoever! Keen followers of the blog will know that director Gary Hustwit has been making his films free to view as an act of kindness during the Corona lock down. It’s a gesture we are really grateful for. Rams (2018) is a must watch. We realise we go on about Dieter Rams quite a lot, but it’s for good reason, and he has been responsible for some of our favourite designs.
“Rams is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter's philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. It’s about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need. The film features original music by pioneering musician and producer Brian Eno. “
