Gute Form

Here’s a stunning little book about stunning objects of all sizes. In 1965 there was an exhibition of German industrial design in London. It was largely arranged by the Rat für Formgebung (German Design Council), a foundation committed to a concept of design capable of creating both cultural and economic value. But that’s not what interests us at present. On these pages are tools and products both industrial and for the home. They are, largely, beautiful. There is nothing to add and nothing to take away. Photos of these items are largely presented without commentary. (Perhaps we should follow their lead. OK. We’re stopping now.)
