A picture named haartrockner.jpgAnd this is a website about industrial design from the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany as we say here in England. Fantastic website.
Not quite Rams, but some of the products look very Gyro Gearloose inspired, like the hairdryer on the left.

A picture named sk61s.jpgRams. The Braun Industrial Design Collection lists quite a few of Dieter Rams' original Designs - click on the links at the left to view the pictures in pop-up windows. An interview with Dieter Rams can be found on this website, with video clips and some more pictures.

"I can´t stand any ´isms´- nationalism, functionalism. There is no functionalism, just functions." - Dieter Rams

I wish some web designers and programmers would memorise that and act accordingly...

Talking about David Bailey - here's a loooong interview with the man himself, a gallery with really great photography and video clips: David Bailey : http://www.pdn-pix.com/legends/bailey/intro.shtml "Bailey, almost as well-known for who he's slept with as for who he's photographed, has lived a life most of us only read about in the tabloids. He cohabited with British '60s model sensation Jean Shrimpton, married sultry French actress Catherine Deneuve, and became best friends with Rolling Stone's Mick Jagger."
