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.

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.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

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.

Braun innovative Design – Radio

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.

Braun Design is unobtrusive.

6 誠実である

製品を実際以上に革新的に、パワフルに、あるいは価値のあるものに見せない。守ることができない約束で消費者を操ろうとしない。

Braun Design is honest.

7 長命である

流行を追うことを避ける。だから決して時代遅れにならない。流行のデザインとは異なり、たとえ現代の使い捨て社会にあっても、長年にわたって生き残る。

Braun Design is long-lasting.

8 最終的にディティールへと帰結する

すべて、思いつきや偶然にゆだねられてはいけない。設計プロセスにおける細部への注意と正確さは、消費者に対する敬意の表れである。

Braun Design is thorough

9 環境への配慮とともにある

デザインは環境の保全に大きく貢献する。製品のライフサイクル全体を通じて資源を大切に扱い、物理的および視覚的な汚染を最小限に抑える。

Braun Design  is environmentally friendly.

10 可能な限りデザインを抑制する

デザインは少ないほうが良い。なぜなら、本質的な面に集中でき、製品が余計なものを背負わないからだ。混じりけのなさ、シンプルさに戻れ。

Braun Design – Less is more

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

Tämän leivänpaahtimen tyylikäs ja pelkistetty muotoilu inspiroi kuuluisaa taiteilijaa Richard Hamiltonia siinä määrin, että yksi hänen teoksistaan (sopivasti nimeltään ”Toaster”, ”paahdin”) pohjautuu siihen. Niin, ja se myös ruskisti leivän täydellisesti.

Braun Toaster

1972 | Florian Seiffert

KF 20

Pystysuoraksi, vesitornia muistuttavaksi muotoiltu KF 20 tunnetaan Aromasterina. Tämän kahvinkeittimen tunnistaa heti sen epätavallisen muotonsa ansiosta, ja se antaa aamun suodatinkahville ripauksen erityisyyttä. 

Braun Coffee Maker Aromaster

1972 | Jürgen Greubel, Dieter Rams

MPZ 22

Tämä myös Citromaticina tunnettu sähkömehulinko oli vuosikymmeniä luotettava ja uskomattoman helposti puhdistettava peruslaite keittiöissä kaikkialla. Meni yli kaksi vuosikymmentä, ennen kuin Braun päätti, että alkuperäistä muotoilua oli aika päivittää.

Braun Citrus Juicer

1981 | Ludwig Littmann

MR 6

Hienostuneemman MR 500:n esiaste MR 6 oli vankka ja lujatekoinen, mikä ansiosta se pystyi sekoittamaan muille tuotteille liian ylivoimaisia elintarvikkeita. Tärkeä askel kohti sauvasekoittimen täydelliseksi hiomista.

Braun Handblender

1984 | Hartwig Kahlcke

KF 40

Tämä kahvinkeitin oli hieman kiistanalainen Braunilla, sillä sen materiaali oli kustannustehokas polypropeeni Braunin vakiomuovin – vankempi polykarbonaatti – sijaan. Niinpä KF 40:n aallotettu pinta kertoo Dieter Ramsin vakuuttaneesta muotoiluratkaisusta.

Braun Coffee Maker

2016 | Markus Orthey, Ludwig Littmann

MultiQuick 9

Monipuolinen tehosekoitin, jossa tiivistyivät monien sitä monta kertaa suurempien laitteiden toiminnot yksinkertaiseksi kädessä pidettäväksi 'sauvaksi'. Pelkistetyn muotoilun määritelmä: kompakti ja silti tehokas.
