Der Unbekannte Klang: Porzellan-Hifi System 1962
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
A German industrial design proposal for a sculptural audio system that existed only in prototype form before the manufacturer's dissolution in 1963. The white porcelain figure—guitar-playing musician mounted on a pedestal speaker—was conceived as both functional amplifier and modernist objét d'art, bridging the divide between fine art and consumer electronics. The color-field background (teal, rust, cream) references the Swiss Style of the era. Collectors of failed utopian design and Cold War-era audio ephemera.
