I agree with Shelby, I’d pay good money to get my hands on these Ducats milk cartons designed by Heinz Grunwald in the 80s. They’re beautiful and functional. These are also a reminder of how bad design can get nowadays. It’s our responsibility as designers to push graphic design back to this type of thinking. Simple, smart, beautiful.
Nice cover for The General Fireproofing Company annual report designed by Chermayeff & Geismar in 1969.
Some nice work by Ross Gunter. I really love his poster designs for Bridging the Gap.
Some people don’t like this super minimal approach to design, but I personally love it. Great work here by Italian designer, Filippo Nostri.
Incredible work by legendary Dutch designer, Ben Bos. He studied with Wim Crouwel at the Amsterdam Graphic College, and later went on to work with him at Total Design. He’s compiled an extraordinary body of work.
I can’t believe I’ve never known of Jakob Jensen or his work before reading about him on ISO50. Part of me feels out of it, but I also love moments of discovery like this. Seeing and falling in love with design that feels so new and fresh, but that’s been around long before I was born. There’s something comforting about that.
Anyway, Danish born Jakob Jensen is an industrial designer who worked for Bang & Olufsen, where he was a designer from 1965-1991. His minimal approach was clearly consistent with Dieter Rams. That microphone is pure perfection.
MoMA has a nice gallery of some of his work.
