Klangikone: Das Unbekannte Meisterwerk

Coming soon

Archive note

A German-language design object advertisement from an alternate early 1960s, presenting the 'Klangikone' (sound icon) as a rediscovered modernist masterwork of the 1920s. The poster depicts a stylized ceramic figurine of a musician clutching a lute-like instrument, positioned beside a minimalist record player under a suspended brass pendant lamp. The tagline credits 'Aurum Tonmöbel,' a fictional manufacturer, suggesting a lost chapter in Bauhaus-adjacent product design. This artifact speaks to collectors of speculative design history and those fascinated by phantom European modernism.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
