Catalogue Note
Donated by Dieter Rams.
Dieter Rams' products are so clear, pure and effortless, they seem inevitable, challenging you to question whether there could possibly be a rational alternative. Rams' Hi-Fi design for Braun is the ultimate version of the postware, pre-digital sound system. The four-part system (control unit, tape recorder and two speakers), designed to hang on the wall, is being sold with a certificate of authenticity signed by Rams.
