Dieter Rams (born 1932) is a German industrial designer from the functionalist school. He was head of design at Braun for almost 30 years.

I was recently asked to write an article for Eight:48 Magazine. The article explores the use of wit and humour in contemporary design. It looks specifically at five recent pieces work that utilise wit in some way, while reflecting on established thoughts on the subject.
As well as my article, the paper also features the work and thoughts of Airside, Andrew Byrom, Dowling Duncan, Founded, Here Design, James Joyce, Keenan Cummings, Purpose, Maddison Graphic, MARK and NB: Studio, so is definitely worth a read — you can get it here.
