Ruminate over Dieter Rams
19 Nov 2007 by David Goligorsky
While the previous Braun Design/Dieter Rams post is still warm:
The 2007 iPhone calculator GUI “borrows” heavily from the 1977 design of the Braun ET44 and ET66 calculators (ET = elektronischer taschenrechner = electronic calculator.) (originally via oyayubizoku, nicest comparison image via domanske)
Further examples of Apple mirroring the lines of Dieter Rams’ designs include:
Braun T3 Taschenradio (1958-1960) :: Apple iPod
Braun LE1 Lautsprecher (1960) :: Apple iMac
to a lesser extent, Braun T1000 (1960) :: Apple G5
