-These ten principles form a contemporary ethical and aesthetic system for industrial design. Like [[..:to_sort:vitruvius|Vitruvius]], more or less two thousand years before him, Rams offers a triadic structure – but one that responds to new materials, production processes, and consumer behavior. Where Vitruvius sought harmony between structure, function, and beauty in architecture, Rams applies a similar balance to the world of everyday objects. His approach influenced not only generations of designers in Europe but also global figures such as Jonathan Ive at Apple, whose product design philosophy clearly echoes Rams’ principles.+These ten principles form a contemporary ethical and aesthetic system for industrial design.
