Less and More: the design ethos of Dieter Rams in Japan

15 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.

Update

The exhibition now travels to the UK.

Design Museum, London
18 November 2009 to 7 March 2010

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.
