Interesting take from him:<p>&quot; ... one of the most interesting parts of Dieter&#x27;s story is that he now looks back on his career with some regret. «If I had to do it over again, I would not want to be a designer,» he&#x27;s said. «There are too many unnecessary products in this world.» Dieter has long been an advocate for the ideas of environmental consciousness and long-lasting products. He&#x27;s dismayed by today&#x27;s unsustainable world of over-consumption, where &quot;design&quot; has been reduced to a meaningless marketing buzzword.&quot;

&quot;Rams is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter&#x27;s philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. It’s about getting rid of distractions and visual clutter, and just living with what you need. The film features original music by pioneering musician and producer Brian Eno.&quot;<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hustwit.com&#x2F;rams" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hustwit.com&#x2F;rams</a>
