Das Unbekannte Klangwunder
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
A porcelain figurine with integrated speaker grilles, presented as a prototype for a proposed West German design object from the early 1960s. The piece conflates sculpture with domestic audio technology, suggesting an unrealized industrial design movement that sought to merge aesthetic form with functional sound reproduction. The German text—'The Unknown Sound Wonder. Porcelain. Precision. Early 60s.'—implies this was a concept ahead of its market moment, recovered from corporate archives. Appeals to collectors of speculative modernism and failed product design.
