Braun 100 years – Good Design can make lives better

Braun believes that Good Design can make lives better

From the everyday things. To a better future.

Good design is

Simple.

Design that doesn’t get in the way of life. With that simple application of pressure - click - you get what you want. Nothing more than what it needs to be. Which means you can get on with what you want to be.

Useful.

Everything has a purpose. A human problem to solve. Down to the finest details. Because good design shouldn’t leave anything behind, it’s thorough and has a reason for being. There is no design for design’s sake.

Built to Last.

When something has been designed well. It doesn’t need anything new, there is no obsolescence - it doesn’t dominate or take over. It lasts. Better for the environment, better for people.

The 10 Principles of Good Design by Dieter Rams

Hired as an architect for redesigning Braun’s office Dieter Rams became one of the leading designers, who developed Braun’s memorable design language and defined the 10 principles of good design, a design manual that is still relevant today.

1 Good design is innovative.

The possibilities for innovation are not, by any means, exhausted. Technological development is always offering new opportunities for innovative design.

2 Good design makes a product useful.

A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasises the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it.

3 Good design is aesthetic.

The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.

4 Good design makes a product understandable.

It clarifies the product’s structure. Better still, it can make the product talk. At best, it is self-explanatory.

5 Good design is unobtrusive.

Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user’s self-expression.

6 Good design is honest.

It does not make a product more innovative, powerful or valuable than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer with promises that cannot be kept.

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.

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.

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.

Usilujeme o lepší život – tehdy, nyní i v budoucnosti.

Mixér Multimix značky Braun

V 50. letech se mléčný koktejl stal symbolem západního světa, částečně i díky Multimixu, modernímu mixéru, který dokázal rozmělňovat suroviny stejně účinně jako průmyslové přístroje a měl odnímatelnou skleněnou mixovací nádobu. Hojně se používá dodnes.

Braun Multimix Blender – Braun Factory 1953

1957 | Gerd Alfred Müller

KM3/31

Velmi významný mixér neboli „kuchyňský robot“, díky němuž vznikla zcela nová kategorie výrobků zvaných „kuchyňské přístroje“. Díky výrazně minimalizovanému, jednoduchému a užitečnému designu se stal jedním z nejvlivnějších průmyslových výrobků všech dob.

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

KSM 1/11

Minimalističtější design byste našli jen stěží: mlýnek na kávu tak praktický, že k jeho ovládání postačí jen jediné tlačítko. Jemně namletá káva dostupná na jediný dotek prstu.

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

HT 2

Tento elegantní, minimalizovaný design natolik inspiroval renomovaného umělce Richarda Hamiltona, že podle něj vytvořil jedno ze svých děl (příhodně nazvané „Toaster“). A mimochodem, tento toustovač také uměl připravit dokonale opečené tousty.

1972 | Florian Seiffert

KF 20

Díky vertikálnímu designu, který připomínal vodojem, se KF 20 přezdívalo Aromaster. Tento kávovar, proslulý svým neobvyklým tvarem, dodal běžné ranní filtrované kávě punc jedinečnosti.

1972 | Jürgen Greubel, Dieter Rams

MPZ 22

Tento elektrický odšťavňovač, známý také jako citromatic, se stal na dlouhá desetiletí spolehlivým a neuvěřitelně snadno udržovatelným pomocníkem v kuchyních po celém světě. Trvalo přes 20 let, než se firma Braun rozhodla jeho design zmodernizovat.

1981 | Ludwig Littmann

MR 6

MR 6, předchůdce sofistikovanějšího modelu MR 500, byl robustní a odolný, což znamená, že dokázal rozmixovat i takové potraviny, s nimiž si jiné produkty nedokázaly poradit. Jednalo se o významný odrazový můstek na cestě ke zdokonalení tyčového mixéru.

1984 | Hartwig Kahlcke

KF 40

Tento kávovar byl pro značku Braun poněkud kontroverzní, protože byl vyrobený z cenově dostupného polypropylenu namísto pevnějšího polykarbonátu, který je pro Braun typický. Vlnitý povrch KF 40 tak přináší designové řešení, které nadchlo Dietera Ramse.

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.

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.

A brief story about the history of Braun household products.

Today’s success of Braun’s household products is based on a company history full of excellent science and thoughtful development. We have brought together a few of Braun’s leading light creations, from the very beginning until today. Even more time travelling and a thrilling online experience awaits if you visit the Virtual Braun Museum.
