The documentary *Rams* offers an intimate portrait of Dieter Rams, a highly influential designer, exploring themes of consumerism, sustainability, and the future of design. Rams' designs for Braun and Vitsoe have touched millions, and his "Ten Principles for Good Design" remain highly relevant. However, at 86, Rams reflects on his career with some regret, lamenting the overabundance of unnecessary products and the unsustainable nature of modern consumption. The film transcends design, prompting reflection on minimalist living and the need to declutter our lives.
