50 years ago, record players didn't look like machines. They looked like old-fashioned, brown wood furniture. But in 1956, Dieter Rams's SK4 record player, nicknamed Snow White's Coffin, changed all that.

  • This guy invented the ipod and most of what Apple has released to great success decades before. Apples owes this man. The world owes this man.

  • I've always loved Dieter's work.

    His Universal System wall cabinets are reminiscent of Poul Cadovius' Royal System from the 50's (which was earlier than Rams' design, if I'm not mistaken). So he too was inspired by work that came before him (which is a good thing obviously).
