Gary Hustwit (director of Helvetica and Objectified) is making the first feature-length documentary about the life and work of German industrial designer Dieter Rams. Equally important: part of the campaign total will be put towards preserving Rams’ design archive — a majority of which has never been seen by the public. The Kickstarter campaign has reached its goal, but there’s still 24 hours left to become a backer and contribute to this effort.
