Das Unbekannte Klangwunder

Coming soon

Archive note

A German industrial design poster from the early 1960s promoting an experimental porcelain sound object—a sculptural figure with an integrated speaker element. The artifact suggests a failed intersection of modernist aesthetics and audio engineering, positioning the human form as both vessel and instrument. Recovered from a design archive in Baden-Württemberg, it speaks to collectors of speculative design history and the uncanny marriage of functionalism and figuration.

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.
