“The Dieter Rams 606 Universal Shelving System is an incredibly beautiful bit of design thinking. When it was introduced it must must have looked shockingly clean and industrial. The main idea wasn’t so new; but Rams’ shelving was like a pure idea of storage come to life. It still is. It’s difficult to imagine a system more stripped to its essence.”. (Erik Heywood)
