Braun x Virgil Abloh Wandanlage Stereo System
As part of its 100 years of Good Design celebration, Braun has teamed with Virgil Abloh on a "functional art" piece. Based on Dieter Rams' 1965 Wandanlage wall unit stereo system, the new piece has a metallic finish that calls back to Braun's history with polished chrome designs such as the SM3 shaver and T1 toaster while also referencing Abloh's cultural influences. The collaboration also resulted in a film, seen above and filmed at Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, as well as an 80-minute "genre-less" remix track created by Abloh in collaboration with Houston-based sound designers The Chopstars.
