Klangskulptur: The Unknown Masterwork

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A 1962 German industrial design catalog cover for Porzellan Audio's unreleased sculptural speaker system, conceived as a functional art object rather than conventional home audio equipment. The cat-form speaker, rendered in cream and burnt orange ceramic, suggests a mid-century aesthetic collision between Bauhaus minimalism and whimsical figuration. The poster's dry German typography and archival photography style imply this was a limited distribution piece, possibly shelved due to manufacturing costs or shifting market tastes. Collectors of lost product design, modernist kitsch, and European industrial ephemera.
