Realistic Illustration of iconic Braun ET-66 Calculator

All of us, passionate about design, art or technology have probably heard of Dieter Rams at some point in our lives. In my case, I remember coming across his work through a Youtube video. He quickly made an impact on my perception of what a great product design is.

For those who don’t know, Dieter Rams is an industrial designer who for years took the creative direction of the development of the German brand Braun, and leaded one of the most important movements of industrial design known as Functionalism for both product design and architecture.

As a matter of fact, Ram’s principles and techniques of design, even his own style were used as the main source of inspiration for some of the most famous Apple products which I'm a fan of.

So, to pay my tribute to such a legend, I shelled out a few hours this weekend and recreated his iconic Braun ET-66 Calculator in Figma. It only made me appreciate the man more.

I am making the file open for everyone on Figma Community. Feel free to duplicate/check it out: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1092143098215779689/Braun-ET-66-Calculator

Cheers to good design!
