Finished Vitsoe building and Rams's thoughts on design and humanity

(tranquil music) (people mumbling) (machinery clanging) (speaking in foreign language) - I think Dieter is surprisingly pessimistic about the future but then I think he's also maybe not so aware of how much his principles have influenced people because Rams' design is not just design, it's a whole attitude. It incorporates everything about how you live. It's about getting rid of excess, visual clutter and just living with what you need. "Less But Better" is quite an amazing legacy. What better thing could you want than that? (tranquil music)
