Wenige Produktdesigns sind so haltbar wie die von Dieter Rams. Nahezu alles was der einflussreichste Designer des 20. Jahrhunderts entworfen hat, gilt heute als Klassiker. Die überarbeitete Neuauflage von Weniger, aber besser zeigt einmal mehr warum Dieter Rams Designverständnis auch in Zukunft nicht an Aktualität verlieren wird.Die Vorstellungen davon, was gutes Design kann, soll und muss, ändern sich stetig mit technischen Möglichkeiten und kulturellen Entwicklungen. Dieter Rams zehn Thesen zum Design befürworten puristisches, beinahe unmerkliches Design und gelten deshalb in Lehre und Praxis als zeitlose Grundüberlegungen: Gutes Design ist innovativ. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt verständlich. Gutes Design ist ästhetisch. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt brauchbar. Gutes Design ist unaufdringlich. Gutes Design ist ehrlich. Gutes Design ist langlebig. Gutes Design ist konsequent bis ins letzte Detail. Gutes Design ist umweltfreundlich. Gutes Design ist so wenig Design wie möglich.Weniger, aber besser hat nicht den Anspruch, eine lückenlose Rams-Werkschau zu sein oder die vollständige Firmengeschichte von Braun zu erzählen. Vielmehr zeigt dieses Buch, welche Ideen, Kriterien und Methoden hinter den großen Produktdesigns von Dieter Rams stehen und wie sich anhand einer sich wandelnden Produktkultur universale Designmaßstäbe ableiten lassen. Aus Dieter Rams Überlegungen zu Ethik und Werten im Design lassen sich klare Strukturen für zukünftiges Gestalten ableiten. Denn eins hat sich über viele Jahre bewiesen: weniger ist einfach besser.
