Braun. Design for what matters.

Braun.
Designed for what matters.

We believe that good design can make lives better - 100 years ago, now and in the future.

For 100 years, Braun has kept to three important principles, inspired by people: Good design is simple, useful and built to last. Until today, people all over the world turn to us because Braun products make life better. They trust in our brand when it counts the most: Whether they want to prepare that special dinner for a first date, iron their best shirt for an important job interview or prepare a vast breakfast for the whole family.

From inventor’s workshop to global brand

Braun 1920 - Ingenius

Ingenious.

In the early 1920s, engineer Max Braun founds a machine-building workshop in Frankfurt am Main. On the strength of its groundbreaking inventions for the emerging radio broadcasting industry, the firm opens its own factory building with 400 employees in 1928.
Braun 1940 - Helpful

Helpful.

During the postwar period, Braun expands its product range with newly developed devices that simplify everyday life. In 1950, simultaneously with the first foil shaver, the Multimix food processor makes its market debut, inaugurating the company’s household line.
Braun 1951 – Visionary

Visionary.

After the sudden death of Max Braun, his sons take the company helm in the early fifties. They lay the groundwork for a people-focused corporate culture that extends to all areas of the company – from its letterhead to its exhibition stands, its health service to its whole-foods cafeteria.
Braun 1960 – Less, but better

Less, but better.

Under the aegis of design legend Dieter Rams, Braun’s radical new Bauhaus-inspired, functional product design sets a new style standard. The company won a rapid succession of national and international prizes and awards for its products. Braun became world-famous as a design brand, and the company became the first to introduce “good design” to the mass market.
Braun 1967 – Innovative

Innovative.

Braun reaches the limits of a family-run firm. In the late sixties, Gillette takes over the successful enterprise with its 5,700 employees. This opens up new markets and distribution channels to Braun. Investments increase the company’s innovative strength and broaden its product range, which soon grows to include coffeemakers and electric irons. Characteristic German design, quality and engineering prowess bolster Braun’s standing against cheaply produced competing products.
Braun today

Today.

Procter & Gamble’s takeover of Gillette in 2005 makes Braun one of twenty-four global brands of the largest consumer-product group in the world. P&G transfers the rights to the Braun brand in the area of household appliances to De’Longhi S.p.A. in 2012. Along with the corresponding patents and production facilities, De’Longhi acquires a large part of Braun’s employees, thereby ensuring that Braun household appliances will continue to offer distinctive design, technological innovation and reliable quality far into the future.
Braun KM 3 food processor

Braun produced the KM 3 food processor for more than three decades.

Here you can see the KM 3-31 model from 1957. The development of the KM 3 began with the construction of a test model to determine the most suitable rotational speed for the drive. After extensive mixing and kneading trials, the development team designed the drive unit. When it came to the form of the KM 3, the design department developed various models of the base plate, bowl, mixing arm and motor base that were combined with the technology until the first preproduction model, the wistar, emerged.

I 10 principi del buon design di Dieter Rams

Assunto come architetto per riprogettare gli uffici della Braun, Dieter Rams è ora un designer di punta; ha sviluppato il memorabile linguaggio di design di Braun e ha definito i 10 principi del buon design, un manuale di design importante ancora oggi.

1 Il buon design è innovativo.

Le possibilità di innovazione non sono, in alcun modo, esaurite. Lo sviluppo tecnologico offre sempre nuove opportunità di design innovativo.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

2 Il buon design rende utile un prodotto.

Un prodotto viene acquistato per essere utilizzato. Deve soddisfare certi criteri, non solo funzionali, ma anche psicologici ed estetici. Un buon design enfatizza l’utilità di un prodotto, ignorando qualsiasi aspetto che possa ridurne la funzionalità.

Braun useful Design – Citrus Juicer

3 Il buon design ha una bella estetica.

La qualità estetica di un prodotto è parte integrante della sua utilità, perché i prodotti che usiamo ogni giorno influenzano la nostra persona e il nostro benessere. Ma solo gli oggetti ben progettati possono essere belli.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

4 Il buon design rende comprensibile un prodotto.

Chiarisce la struttura del prodotto. Meglio che sia silente, per far parlare il prodotto. Nella migliore delle ipotesi è autoesplicativo.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

5 Il buon design è discreto.

I prodotti che soddisfano uno scopo sono come strumenti. Non sono né oggetti decorativi né opere d’arte. Il loro design deve quindi essere neutro e limitato, per lasciare spazio all’espressione personale dell’utente.

Braun Design is unobtrusive.

6 Il buon design è onesto.

Non rende un prodotto più innovativo, potente o prezioso di quanto non lo sia realmente. Non tenta di manipolare il consumatore con promesse che non è in grado di mantenere.

Braun Design is honest.

7 Il buon design dura a lungo.

Evita di essere alla moda e quindi non sembra mai fuori moda. A differenza del design alla moda, dura molti anni, anche nella società di oggi, abituata all’usa e getta.

Braun Design is long-lasting.

8 Il buon design è curato fin nei minimi dettagli.

Nulla deve essere arbitrario o lasciato al caso. La cura e la precisione nel processo di progettazione dimostrano rispetto nei confronti del consumatore.

Braun Design is thorough

9 Bra formgivning är miljövänlig.

Formgivningen är ett viktigt bidrag till aktsamheten om miljön. Det sparar resurser och minimerar fysiska och upplevda föroreningar under produktens hela livscykel.

Braun Design  is environmentally friendly.

10 bra formgivningsregler innebär så lite konstruktion som möjligt.

Mindre, men bättre – eftersom den fokuserar de väsentliga aspekterna och inte belastar produkten med oväsentligheter. Tillbaka till det rena och enkla.

Braun Design – Less is more

Take a video tour through the Braun Museum in Kronberg, near Frankfurt.

The Braun Museum showcases the great history of Braun with many insides and interesting facts and figures about products from the past and today.

1953 | Brauns fabrik

Brauns mixer Multimix

'På 50-talet skapades milkshaken som en västerländsk basvara, som delvis möjliggjordes av Multimix, den toppmoderna mixern med en löstagbar glasbehållare. Den skär ingredienser med industriell effektivitet. Fortfarande vanligt använd i köken.

Braun Multimix Blender – Braun Factory 1953

1957 | Gerd Alfred Müller

KM3/31

En mycket tongivande mixer eller ”matberedare” eftersom den gav upphov till den helt nya produktkategorin ”köksapparater”. Genom sin hyperreducerade, enkla och användbara formgivning en av de mest tongivande industriprodukterna genom tiderna.

Braun Food Processor

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

KSM 1/11

Formgivning blir inte mer minimalistisk än så här: en kaffekvarn så ändamålsanpassad att det bara behövdes en knapp i mitten för att använda den. Bara en tryckning behövdes för att få finmalt kaffe.

Braun Coffee Grinder

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

HT 2

Den här brödrostens eleganta, reducerade formgivning inspirerade den berömda konstnären Richard Hamilton till den grad att den blev föremål för ett av hans verk, passande nog kallat ”brödrost”. Just det, den rostade också brödet till perfektion.

Braun Toaster

1972 | Florian Seiffert

KF 20

KF 20 som även hade namnet Aromaster hade en vertikalt ”staplad” form som påminner om ett vattentorn. Denna kaffebryggare stack ut genom den okonventionella formen som gav en extraordinär känsla till morgonkaffet varje dag. 

Braun Coffee Maker Aromaster

1972 | Jürgen Greubel, Dieter Rams

MPZ 22

Denna elektriska juicepress var ett pålitligt tillbehör som var otroligt lätt att rengöra och fanns i kök över hela världen under årtionden. Det tog över två decennier innan Braun bestämde sig för att uppdatera den ursprungliga konstruktionen.

Braun Citrus Juicer

1981 | Ludwig Littmann

MR 6

MR 6 var föregångare till den mer sofistikerade MR 500, men var robust och tålig, och kunde användas för livsmedel som andra maskiner inte klarade. En viktig språngbräda på vägen mot en finslipad handmixer.

Braun Handblender

1984 | Hartwig Kahlcke

KF 40

Denna kaffebryggare var en aning kontroversiell inom Braun, tillverkad av kostnadseffektiv polypropen istället för Brauns favoritplast polykarbonat. Den strukturerade ytan på KF 40 företräder därför den formgivningslösning som övertygade Dieter Rams.

Braun Coffee Maker

2016 | Markus Orthey, Ludwig Littmann

MultiQuick 9

An all-round food blender that condensed the functionalities of devices many times its size into a simple, handheld 'wand'. The definition of reduced design: compact, yet powerful.
