Of course Dieter Rams uses an Olivetti Valentine typewriter ...

Still from the opening frames of Gary Hustwit's documentary "Rams"

(also pleased to see that Dieter's a fellow member of the "can't type worth shit" club)

Had somebody recommended #Xfce4 to me in 2021 I'd would've purged them from my address book.

After two years of #Gnome3 on #Ubuntu, I would believe it if somebody told me it was designed by #DieterRams. 😂

In occasione del suo compleanno, solo per il weekend è disponibile gratuitamente il documentario/intervista di 1h 13min a Rams.

» Industrial designers are aware of the work by #DieterRams, #RayEames and #EttoreSottsass. Communication designers are aware of the work by #PaulaScher, #OtlAicher and #AprilGreiman. So it only makes sense that user interface designers should be aware of the work by #CordellRatzlaff, #SusanKare and #KaiKrause.«

Aside from being continuously inspired by #DieterRams, this take on his ten principles remains one of my favourite articles on #HumaneDesign. 💚

The documentary "Rams" resonated with me during the first lockdown in 2020, when the shortcomings of our society became visible to everyone.

I watched it again and again. It prompted me to use my portfolio website to write about what I care most. I started with one blog post and continued with the series Design, Digested – and then its newsletter.
