Rams, A New Gary Hustwit Documentary About the Legendary German Industrial Designer Dieter Rams

Filmmaker Gary Hustwit is currently raising funds through Kickstarter to produce Rams, a new documentary that celebrates the life and work of legendary German industrial designer Dieter Rams, using footage from a 2008 interview with the designer. Hustwit had previously directed such wonderful documentaries as Helvetica, Objectified, and Urbanized

I’m the . I’ve had the pleasure of having conversations with some of the most creative designers in the world for these films. In 2008, I had the honor of interviewing Dieter Rams for my documentary Objectified, but I was only able to share a small piece of his story. Dieter, who is now 84, is a very private person; however, I have been granted unprecedented and exclusive access to Dieter for the first feature-length documentary about his life and work. The documentary is simply titled Rams.
