Dieter Rams Vs. Jonathan Ive
Jonathan Ive is the genius designer behind most of Apples product line, including the iPod. What most people don’t realize is that he gets his inspiration from another design genius named Dieter Rams who during the 50s & 60s designed a lot of amazing products and concepts for Braun.
Here are a few examples of those designs:

looks to me like Jonathan Ive’s took alot of inspiration to Dieter’s design ethic.
there is a resemblance between their work or maybe he “pinched” it from him..lol!
But Ive’s gives it a modern twist to an old notion of Ram’s concepts.
Can you imagine that first prototype for an mp3 player, the Ipod? it looks too complicated for me!
KUDOS!!! This is an interesting piece of information. It’s awesome that BBC put this info out there to show that things from history/past can be an inspiration for new ideas and then modified to be current, yet deemed as original.
