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.

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.

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 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 Un bon design est discret.

Les produits qui remplissent une fonction sont comme des outils. Ce ne sont ni des objets décoratifs, ni des œuvres d’art. Leur design doit donc être à la fois neutre et sobre, afin de laisser à l’utilisateur la possibilité de s’exprimer.

Braun Design is unobtrusive.

6 Un bon design est honnête.

Il ne rend pas un produit plus innovant, puissant ou précieux qu’il ne l’est en réalité. Il n’essaie pas de manipuler le consommateur avec des promesses qui ne peuvent pas être tenues.

Braun Design is honest.

7 Un bon design est durable.

Il évite d’être un objet de tendance pour ne jamais paraître démodé. Contrairement au design suivant la tendance, il perdure de nombreuses années, même dans la société actuelle du jetable.

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

1953 | Braun fabriek

Braun Multimix Blender

In de jaren 50 werd de milkshake in het Westen populair, mede mogelijk gemaakt door de Multimix, de geavanceerde blender met afneembaar mengglas. Hij snijdt ingrediënten met industriële doeltreffendheid en wordt tegenwoordig nog volop gebruikt.

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 kan bijna niet minimalistischer: een koffiemolen die zo speciaal werd ontwikkeld, dat het slechts één centraal geplaatste knop nodig had om te functioneren. Fijngemalen bonen in een handomdraai.

Braun Coffee Grinder

1963 | Reinhold Weiss

HT 2

Het slanke, gereduceerde ontwerp van deze broodrooster was zo’n inspiratie voor de beroemde kunstenaar Richard Hamilton, dat hij er een van zijn kunstwerken (toepasselijk ‘Toaster’ genoemd) op baseerde. En het roosterde het brood natuurlijk perfect.

Braun Toaster

1972 | Florian Seiffert

KF 20

Au design vertical et empilé qui ressemblait à un château d’eau, le KF 20 était connu sous le nom d’Aromaster. Instantanément reconnaissable à sa forme peu conventionnelle, cette cafetière a ajouté une touche d’extraordinaire au café filtre du matin. 

Braun Coffee Maker Aromaster

1972 | Jürgen Greubel, Dieter Rams

MPZ 22

Ce presse-fruits électrique, ou citromatique, était un produit de base fiable, facile à nettoyer, qui équipe nombre de cuisines du monde entier depuis des décennies. Braun a attendu une vingtaine d’années pour faire évoluer son design original.

Braun Citrus Juicer

1981 | Ludwig Littmann

MR 6

De MR 6 was een voorloper van de meer verfijnde MR 500 en was stevig en sterk, wat betekent dat het voedsel kon mengen waar andere producten moeite mee hadden. Een belangrijke opstap naar het perfectioneren van de staafmixer.

Braun Handblender

1984 | Hartwig Kahlcke

KF 40

Dit koffiezetapparaat was nogal controversieel binnen Braun, omdat het van kostenefficiënt polypropyleen in plaats van het stevigere polycarbonaat was. Het golvende oppervlak van de KF 40 was een ontwerpoplossing was die Dieter Rams heeft overtuigd.

Braun Coffee Maker

2013 | Markus Orthey, Ludwig Littmann

MultiQuick 9

Een allround blender die de functionaliteiten van veel grotere apparaten heeft gecombineerd in een eenvoudige, handige 'staaf'. De definitie van gereduceerd ontwerp: compact, maar toch krachtig.
