Der Unbekannte Klang: Porzellan-HiFi System 1962
Coming soonArchive note
A modernist industrial design advertisement for a fictional high-fidelity audio system, rendered as sculptural porcelain. The white ceramic musician figure, poised atop a minimalist speaker platform, suggests a post-war European sensibility—specifically East German Bauhaus or Scandinavian design functionalism. The tri-color background (teal, brown, rust) and stark sans-serif typography date the artifact to the early 1960s, when audio technology intersected with sculptural form. The tagline—"Minimal. Maximal. Magisch."—implies a design philosophy that blurs art and consumer electronics. A collector's piece for those interested in industrial design fiction, Cold War-era modernism, or the aesthetics of forgotten audio brands.
