Copying is a big part of industrial design. It's all about transforming and combining disparate ideas to create something new. This video covers the more well-known examples of copies, such as Apple products taking direct design inspiration from Dieter Rams' Braun products. It also covers the more obscure examples, such as the long lineage of design history that led up to the current minimalist paradigm that we're in now...from the Arts & Crafts movement, to the Bauhaus, to Constructivism, all the way up to present-day postmodern minimalism.
