For over fifty years he left an indelible mark on the field of product design with his work at the consumer products company Braun, the furniture company Vitsoe, and the functionalistic school of design. His work has influenced the way most of today’s consumer products look and function.This documentary gives an unprecedented insight into the designers’ life and work.
