A boxed set of 16 prints and other materials to commemorate Braun’s hi-fi range.

Published in limited numbers to mark the end of hi-fi production at Braun in 1990.

Includes a superb series of 16 six-colour metallic offset lithographic prints of classic Braun hi-fi products. All but one of these items were either designed or co-designed by Dieter Rams.

The prints and accompanying materials are housed in a clam shell box. Even the box itself and its contents were designed by Rams himself.

The folio consists of:

• A contents sheet

• A 12-page illustrated pamphlet on the Atelier range 1979 - 1991

• 16 metallic six-colour off-set lithographic prints of audio designs for Braun

• Each print comes with a corresponding off-set litho print of the original design sketch for that item, executed in grey ink on tracing paper. These can be overlaid on the print to create a new image.

All of the items in the folio measure approximately 31 cm x 31 cm. All of the text is in German.

Condition: Excellent with only minor signs of careful handling. The prints are of truly excellent quality, executed in 5 metallic colours. Each would look fabulous framed. This is a stunning, rare collectors’ item – not to be missed. There is some minor wear to the clam shell box.
