Apple classics and their 1960s ancestors - The (fairly)recent article in The Guardian compares the design influences of 2 great product designers, Dieter Rams responsible for the minimalist Braun products from the 1950’s and Jonathon Ive, Apple’s acclaimed designer responsible most recently for iPhone.
As the article points out, no one is accusing Ive of copying Rams, rather it further reinforces the point that simple, clean, unfussy design is timeless. We couldn’t agree more.
