Re: Industrial design - East German style:
Indeed there is a congruence between Dietel's and some of of Rams' designs: in the late-1970s I had a weakness/lust for his Braun T1000 radio - so quietly cool and 'technical' in appearance but not in an in-your-face "LOOK AT ME!" way that would mean it seemed inappropriate in a typical domestic setting.
[That to me is one of the fundamentals of good design: it should never scream at you, rather it should quietly make itself known when the time is right].
