Dieter Rams, “P1 Pocket Record Player” (1959) with “T41 Pocket Radio” (1956), designed for Braun
Rams — a clear influence on Apple’s current look — offered these ten tenets of good design:
Good design is innovative.
Good design makes a product useful. 
Good design is aesthetic. 
Good design makes a product understandable. 
Good design is unobtrusive. 
Good design is honest. 
Good design has longevity. 
Good design is consequent down to the last detail. 
Good design is environmentally friendly. 
Good design is as little design as possible.

[Quoted from Core77] Carlo Heckman was an Industrial Designer from Akron, Ohio whose work in the 1950’s went largely unnoticed until just recently.
 
He was best known for his work with birthday candles. In the late 1950’s, Heckman was at a birthday party for his grandfather and was disturbed by the randomly placed candles on the cake. He immediately started working on a solution and came up with what he called the “Heckman Method.” This involved selling one long candle for every four short ones. People were warm to the idea initially but abandoned the method once they realized that more wax ended up on the cake this way.
