Authentic Modern Design

The book is so great, nothing needs to be said about the subject. Things he designed 60 years ago still look current and modern. Lot’s of great photos. I am truly impressed.

It’s insane to me how a book this complete and of such high quality at such a modest price. I wouldn’t have hesitated to pay $100+ for this complete catalogue of all of Rams’ designs. Worth every penny.

I bought two of them, one I will keep wrapped in its original shrink wrap I have the feeling this book will be valuable in the years to come.
