things to watch.
Rams by Gary Hustwit
Dieter Rams has left an indelible mark on the field of product design and the world at large with his iconic work at Braun and Vitsoe. His work has influenced the way most of today’s consumer products look and function. Gary Hustwit has been granted unprecedented access to create the first feature-length documentary about his life and work, simply titled Rams, and it’s due to be released this month. In Hustwit’s words, “Rams is a design documentary, but itâs also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter’s philosophy is about more than just design, itâs about a way to live. Itâs about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need.”
