Dieter Rams Notes

Hello! This week I would like to give you some notes I took when I was studying Dieter Rams long time ago. It is a synthesis of some of his articles.



→ Dieter Rams was one of the best designers of everyday objects in the world.

→ Design is important because bad design slows down society and makes us sad.

→ Design should be simple, reduce everything to a few things that matter.

→ Design should be modest, not proclaiming the glory and ego of design, nor attracting attention for no reason.

→ Design should be sitting in the background and doing its job.

→ Design should be obvious from the start.

→ We are little kids and hate to say we are stupid. The designer is the person who tenderly guides these children.

→ Dieter Rams designs using our childlike nature in a context of elegance and dignity.

→ Rams promotes that the classic never dies, interested in the permanent.

→ Johannes Vermeer was an advocate of paying more attention to the humble objects of everyday life.

→ Rams values Vermeer's details, but has turned these values into products.

→ The intensity, focus, high standards and pursuit of integrity found in art can be carried into the realm of everyday design.

→ For Dieter Rams, good business must be elegant, durable and dignified.

When building new experiences, if you focus solely on conversions… You can slightly lose track of what’s right or wrong.

Grids help designers create cohesive layouts, allowing end users to easily scan and use interfaces. A good grid adapts to various screen sizes and orientations, ensuring consistency across platforms.

Kelley Gordon

Using one element or set of elements (usually because of their functionality) and styling them to look like something else is a common pattern. A recent conversation on Twitter about using radio buttons styled to look like buttons highlighted the essential problem with this approach.

Léonie Watson

For most design systems, solving for every feature to support every case is a fool’s errand. Yet, design system practitioners cringe when a designer detaches a Figma component or developer codes a component from scratch.

Nathan Curtis

During our large-scale testing on user account self-service UX, participants interacted with a variety of account features, including the credit card flow for editing stored credit cards, order cancellation features, and order returns.

Indeed, 42% of all sites perform below an acceptable e-commerce search UX performance across the 8 e-commerce search query types discussed in this article. To make matters worse, 8% of sites have a downright “broken” e-commerce search UX when it comes to the performance of the 8 key query types.
