Dieter Rams, designer whose domestic furnishings and appliances made the Braun company famous, lives on a mountain on the edge of Frankfurt, in a house he designed which functions like a living museum to his own products. Taking his living/working environment as a kind of role model for collective production, we developed models for co-habitation in the studio as well as in-situ, staking out his house from the woods across the street. Eventually we made it inside to interview him.
