Knock-‐Down Furniture
An Inspiration…
Universal Shelving System by Dieter Rams
Dieter Rams developed the universal shelving system in 1960’s for Vitsoe. It is still the lead inspiration in all kinds of shelving system and has been in production for nearly 50years now. What inspires me is that Rams developed a system which was ‘universal’ so it could be easily manufactured, packed and stored, yet it can be highly personalized in terms of style, look, place and function. Dieter Rams always reminds me that simple(not only in looks but also function) is beautiful.
