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.

Les 10 principes d’un bon design par Dieter Rams

Engagé en tant qu’architecte pour réaménager les bureaux de Braun, Dieter Rams est devenu l’un des plus grands designers de son temps, a développé le style singulier de Braun et a rédigé un manuel qui fait référence : Les 10 principes d’un bon design.

1 Un bon design est innovant.

Les possibilités d’innovation ne sont, en aucun cas, épuisées. Le développement technologique offre toujours de nouvelles opportunités de design innovant.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

2. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt nützlich.

Ein Produkt wird für die Verwendung gekauft. Es muss bestimmte Kriterien erfüllen, nicht nur funktionale, sondern auch ästhetische. Gutes Design betont die Nützlichkeit eines Produkts, es wird alles ausgeblender, was davon ablenken könnte.

Braun useful Design – Citrus Juicer

3. Gutes Design ist ästhetisch.

Die ästhetische Qualität eines Produkts ist entscheidend für seinen Nutzen, denn Produkte, die wir täglich benutzen, beeinflussen unsere Person und unser Wohlbefinden. Doch nur gut umgesetzte Objekte können schön sein.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

4. Gutes Design macht ein Produkt verständlich.

Sie veranschaulicht die Struktur des Produkts. Besser noch, es kann das Produkt zum Sprechen bringen. Im besten Fall ist es selbsterklärend.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

5. Gutes Design ist unauffällig.

Produkte, die einen Zweck erfüllen, sind wie Tools. Sie sind weder dekorative Objekte noch Kunstwerke. Ihr Design sollte daher sowohl neutral als auch zurückhaltend sein, um Raum für den Selbstausdruck des Benutzers zu lassen.

Braun Design is unobtrusive.

6. Gutes Design ist ehrlich.

Sie macht ein Produkt nicht innovativer, leistungsfähiger oder wertvoller, als es wirklich ist. Es versucht nicht, den Verbraucher mit Versprechungen zu manipulieren, die nicht eingehalten werden können.

Braun Design is honest.

7 Good design is long-lasting.

It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated. Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years - even in today’s throwaway society.

Braun Design is long-lasting.

8 Good design is thorough to the last detail.

Nothing must be arbitrary or left to chance. Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the consumer.

Braun Design is thorough

9 Good design is environmentally friendly.

Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the environment. It conserves resources and minimises physical and visual pollution throughout the lifecycle of the product.

Braun Design  is environmentally friendly.

10 Good design is as little design as possible.

Less, but better - because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with nonessentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.

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.

Braun Multimix Blender

The 50's established the milkshake as a western staple, enabled in part by the Multimix, the state-of-the-art blender with a detachable mixing glass container. It cuts ingredients with industrial-grade efficacy. Still widely in use today.

Braun Multimix Blender – Braun Factory 1953

1957 | Gerd Alfred Müller

KM3/31

A hugely influential blender or “food processor” as it was known that birthed a whole new product category: “kitchen machines” or appliances. With its hyper-reduced, simple and useful design one of the most influential industrial products of all time.

Braun Food Processor

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

KSM 1/11

Design doesn’t get much more minimalistic than this: a coffee grinder so purpose-built it needed just one, centrally placed button to operate. Finely ground beans were just a finger click away.

Braun Coffee Grinder

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

HT 2

This toaster’s sleek, reduced design so inspired renowned artist Richard Hamilton that he based one of his works (aptly titled ‘Toaster’) on it. Oh, and it also browned bread to perfection.

Braun Toaster

1972 | Florian Seiffert

KF 20

With a stacked, vertical design that resembled a water tower, the KF 20 was known as the Aromaster. Instantly recognizable for its unconventional shape, this coffee maker added a touch of the extraordinary to everyday morning filter coffee. 

Braun Coffee Maker Aromaster

1972 | Jürgen Greubel, Dieter Rams

MPZ 22

This electric juicer, also known as the citromatic, was a dependable and incredibly easy-to-clean staple of kitchens across the world for decades. It took over two decades before Braun decided an update to the original design was due.

Braun Citrus Juicer

1981 | Ludwig Littmann

MR 6

A precursor of the more sophisticated MR 500, the MR 6 was sturdy and tough, meaning it could blend foods that other products couldn't handle. An important stepping stone on the way to perfecting the handheld blender.

Braun Handblender

1984 | Hartwig Kahlcke

KF 40

This coffeemaker was somehow controversial within Braun, being made of cost-efficient polypropylene rather than sturdier polycarbonate, Braun's go-to plastic. Hence the KF 40's corrugated surface states a design solution that won over Dieter Rams.

Braun Coffee Maker

2016 | Markus Orthey, Ludwig Littmann

MultiQuick 9

En fullblods matblender som kondenserer funksjonaliteten til enheter mange ganger større enn den selv til en enkel, håndholdt «tryllestav». Definisjonen av redusert design: kompakt, men kraftig.

Braun Handblender
