I thank him for the consistently trusting cooperation and wish him continued success. I would be very pleased if Stephan Ott, with his expertise, would remain connected to form in the future."

A NOTE ON OUR OWN BEHALF

In 2017, form Design Magazine celebrated its 60th anniversary. form was founded in 1957 as an "International Review" by Jupp Ernst, Willem Sandberg, Curt Schweicher, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld. The first issue stated: "form thus focuses on the design of utilitarian goods, viewing industrial design in connection with the forms of fine art, architecture, but also theater and film, as well as photography."

What began as a broad-based cultural magazine has developed into one of the leading international design magazines, reporting interdisciplinarily on developments in the core areas of product, industrial, communication, and fashion design, as well as design theory. The magazine's content is supplemented by an extensive digital offering and

specialist design publications, as well as the form Design Classics book series.
