Ever since the release of “AppleDesign” in 1997, fans of Apple and industrial design have been clamoring for more. That volume, released just before Apple’s design revolution with the first iMac, gave a tantalizing glimpse behind the scenes of Apple’s industrial design process, including unused concepts, forward-thinking projects (such as iPad-like tablets as envisioned in the early ‘80s), and stories about the people behind the early phases of Apple’s design language.One of those people was Hartmut Esslinger, principal of frog design and developer of the “Snow White” design language that defined Apple’s products in the mid- to late-‘80s. Esslinger is credited with bringing the simplicity and elegance to European design to the American company, an aesthetic philosophy carried through in its designs to this day. In “Keep it Simple,” Esslinger himself takes one segment of the saga described in AppleDesign and expounds on it in unparalleled detail. The book’s images of “Snow White” concepts (some of which also appeared in AppleDesign) are excellent and revelatory. Some of the products shown in this book never made it past the foam model phase (sometimes a good thing), and others nearly made it to production, including my personal favorite, the “Baby Mac” of 1985. Examples of “Snow White” designs that made it to market are the IIc, IIgs, and Macintosh II. It is a real treat to see so many concepts, the good, bad, and revolutionary, together and in such detail.What might be most interesting to modern-day readers are the future concepts shown: the flat-screens, thin notebooks, cell phones, and even tablets that Esslinger and his team conceptualized more than a decade before the technology was viable.
