A question that I’ve asked myself every now and then is: do design celebrities exist? I like to think they do. While they may not be the most wealthy and be as widely known as A-Listers, I still think they have held or still hold a huge amount of power in the world. Jonathan Ive—Apple’s design, Dieter Rams—Braun’s design. Two hugely popular companies that wouldn’t be the way they are now without them. So when I came across the home of Dieter Rams in Germany, I really felt like it was a treat to be able to peek into his world even more. I’m constantly curious about where designers get their inspiration and how they control it.
