AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: a rare radio-phonograph combo, SK 61 model, nicknamed the "Snow White’s Coffin," designed by the German industrial design master Dieter Rams in collaboration with Hans Gugelot, and released by the legendary Braun AG of Frankfurt, between 1962 and 1964.
A major figure in 20th-century design, Dieter Rams revolutionized industrial design with his ten fundamental principles — formal sobriety, exemplary functionality, honesty of materials — which would inspire Jonathan Ive and Apple design decades later. The SK 61 perfectly embodies this philosophy, blending technical rigor, absolute minimalism, and uncompromising German manufacturing quality.
This cult object is distinguished by its white enamelled metal case, ash side panels, and its iconic transparent acrylic lid, emblematic of functionalist modernism rooted in Bauhaus and the Ulm School. It is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York as a representative piece of 20th-century design. It fully belongs to the world of collectible design objects and highly sought-after vintage audio equipment.
