“Back in the early 1980s, Dieter Rams was becoming increasingly concerned by the state of the world around him – ‘an impenetrable confusion of forms, colours and noises.’ Aware that he was a significant contributor to that world, he asked himself an important question: is my design good design?

(Sometimes they are referred as the ‘Ten commandments’.)
