created
- Braun T3— Tick G. MoMA's collection record credits the T3's design to Dieter Rams (Hochschule für Gestaltung, Ulm), manufactured by Braun AG. ONLY the T3 carries a designer attribution I could verify — radiomuseum names no designer for T31 or T4, so no created edge is proposed for them rather than one being inferred from the line.I
influenced
- Apple Inc.— Apple's industrial design language explicitly cites Rams's work at Braun.
- Jony Ive— Ive on Rams, on record (Objectified, 2009). Edge T2 — folded into Tick G because it adds an incoming influence arm to the Dieter Rams gold case.II
influenced by
- Bauhaus— Rams's functionalism ("less, but better") descends from Bauhaus design pedagogy — the documented cross-domain chain.
