Knowing that the loyal XLogic blog reader is well-versed in comtemporary design principles, I’m sure you are all aware of the designer Dieter Rams. If not, look him up on Wikipedia or Google for images of his ground-breaking work and his 10 rules of good design http://www.vitsoe.com/en/gb/about/dieterrams/gooddesign. It is well documented that he has been a significant influence on Johnatan Ive and it is easy to see how this manifests itself in Apple’s products (which do bear more than a passing resemblance to some of the Braun products that Rams designed). However, following a trip to Russia it seems that his message has reached one of the giants of production – Mosfilm. Pictured below is our Analogue Product Manager, Dr Sore Wetmam, doing a training session in the Duality room at Mosfilm. Some may say this looks Kubrick-inspired, some may say more Ikea, but those in the design know this room is obviously an homage to Dieter Rams.
