About Exhibition
In the latter half of the 20th century, German designer Dieter Rams created over 350 iconic products for Braun and Vitsœ. His focus on sustainability and user experience continues to influence new designers worldwide. Rams' philosophy of "less, but better" is particularly relevant today amidst global resource and environmental challenges. In collaboration with the Dieter and Ingeborg Rams Foundation and Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation, this exhibition showcases a curated collection of his designs, providing insights into his enduring impact on contemporary design.
