The Braun Phonosuper (1x7)

Ausstrahlung: Okt 27, 2001

Designed by Dieter Rams in 1956, the Braun Phonosuper SK55 won the 10th Milan Triennale prize in 1957. It was the first time it had been awarded to a German-designed object: German manufacturing had a reputation for quality rather than good looks. The Phonosuper did away with the idea that German design was ugly and boring. Its designer, Dieter Rams, started a vogue for right-angles and monochrome and became the leading light of the Ulm Design School, whilst German household objects soon outstripped the previous generation of pioneering American designs.
