Event Date:2020.12.03-2021.01.11
Nov 24, 2020
Focus on Dieter Rams, a master of industrial design! Also featuring a limited collection in collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara's Fragment.


Dieter Rams, a master of industrial design, was active since the 1950s as a designer for Braun and Vitsœ, and had a tremendous influence on the design world through his products. Rams' achievements and philosophy continue to have a profound influence on designers today. In today's world, where material things are abundant, Rams's philosophy of "less but better" is a message that speaks to many people about essential richness and value, and we believe it will be an important keyword for creating a sustainable society going forward. An exhibition focusing on this man, "LESS BUT BETTER Dieter Rams: The World of Braun and Vitsœ," will be held at Isetan The Space on the second floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku.

The exhibition will feature precious vintage items from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as items for sale exclusive to Isetan Shinjuku, a collaboration between Braun and Hiroshi Fujiwara's Fragment.

Thursday, December 3, 2020 – Monday, January 11, 2021 (National Holiday) Isetan Shinjuku Main Building, 2nd Floor Isetan The Space

Complete environment: A complete world

ISETAN THE SPACE is an experimental pop-up space that aims to rediscover the legends who have built timeless value, and to present creations with a unique worldview that excites people around the world and intrinsic value that transcends trends, based on the keywords "3less (Timeless, Genderless, Category-less)". We believe that Rams' timeless objects, which defy the limitations of category and gender, are a natural fit with the interests of ISETAN THE SPACE's target customers.

The exhibition will focus on Dieter Rams' designs for Braun and Vitsoe from the 1950s and 1960s, showcasing precious vintage items. (Sponsors: Braun/JAKUETS/SUPERVION/Systems Studio/Vitsoe) During this period, Rams designed a wide variety of product categories, including shelving systems, furniture, audio and visual equipment, and kitchenware. Rams applied the same methods, design principles, and aesthetics to all of his designs. The result is a complete world of exceptional discipline and unity.

Through products designed by Dieter Rams for Braun and Vitsoe in the past, the exhibition will enable visitors to experience the shared methods and aesthetics expressed by Rams. It will also provide a rare opportunity to experience collaborative items that continue to express a new interpretation of the same philosophy.
