Dieter Rams' 60s 606 is 50!

By Rain Noe - May 12, 2011

in Object Culture

Dieter Rams is in New York to help celebrate 60s 606 is 50, the 50th anniversary exhibition of his 606 shelving system. Rams designed the 606 as a 28-year-old man back in 1960, and the wall-track-based system is still being produced by original manufacturer Vitsoe. In a time when Ikea product lineups cycle out every few years, five decades of continuous production for the 606 seems even more impressive.

The Times caught up with Rams for a quick Q&A, worth a read for some personal tidbits. Check it out here.
