Dieter Rams

Industrial design is an area in which I don't have a lot of knowledge. I'm one of those "I know what I like" guys, and of course I like the design of most Apple products – designed created for the most part by Jonathan Ive.

But the technology web site Gizmodo has drawn some parallels between Ive's designs and those of Dieter Rams, who designed appliances for Braun between 1956 and 1998.

These designs are mostly timeless. They'd look as good in a home or office today as they did when they were created.

Here's Gizmodo's page comparing some of Rams' designs to those of Ive.
