Stapelprogramm 740
When you think about Dieter Rams, you instantly think about Braun consumer products – the shaver, the radio, the blender. Tilmann Appel rather thinks about furniture. Especially about the original furniture series of German design icon for VitsÅ“ from around the 1960’s. That’s why he presented ‘Möbel’ earlier this year, during summer, as you can tell by the shorts Tilmann Appel wears on the last picture. A selection of furniture systems with the clearest visual language and an universal approach we miss with designers these days. But that’s why we love Dieter so much.
