Editorial / Publication / Order Design
Designed during my time at Order, with Jesse Reed. "Dieter Rams: The Complete Works" is the latest monograph from Phaidon on Ram's decades spanning career. The publication is organized chronologically by decade, beginning in the late 1940s. The reader is offered a new perspective on Rams by presenting his life through the objects that he designed. Every entry included in the book features exact product specifications alongside descriptions contextualizing their significance. Thanks to Jesse, Order, Klaus Kemp, and the team at Phaidon for the opportunity to be a part of such a special project.
