"The Making of Design - From the first sketches to the final product", edited by Gerrit Terstiege, collates a selection of our best design process reports of the last three years. Furthermore, there are also unpublished stories as well as exclusive interviews with Dieter Rams and Konstantin Grcic!

For all the marketing strategies and design methodologies, design processes often take an unexpected turn, as each development is different. This book seeks to tell the unique story of 21 products: Chairs made of crystals and potatoes that are best suited to lend shape to the poetry of chance than to serve as items of seating. Alongside stories of very down-to-earth capital goods, such as a shaver, a travel bag and an espresso machine. Renowned designers such as Roland Ullmann (Braun AG), Michael Schmidt (Code 2 Design) and Peter Naumann (Hochschule München) use sketches and models to elaborate the different steps in their respective design processes.

Moreover, the book also highlights outstanding pieces by young auteur designers, including the Brothers Bouroullec, Max Lamb, Jerszy Seymour, Hella Jongerius and Patricia Urquiola. And features an interview with Dieter Rams in which he sheds light on development processes at Braun. While Konstantin Grcic talks to Gerrit Terstiege about how he uses simple paper models when designing seating and electrical appliances. In this way, the "Making of Design" offers students and pros alike incisive background information that will be highly beneficial to their own everyday design work.
