Porzellan-Hi-Fi System. Frühe 60er.
Coming soonArchive note
A West German industrial design proposal from an alternate 1960s: Keramik Audio Werke's sculptural speaker system, rendered in glazed porcelain and cast as a biomorphic totemic form. The poster announces an audio object that never reached production—a collision between Bauhaus functionalism and post-war ceramic craft. The text promises 'Das Geheimnis des guten Tons' (the secret of good sound), positioning modernist acoustics as a problem for artisanal form-making. Recovered from a discontinued Munich design archive. Speaks to collectors of speculative industrial design, audio archaeology, and Cold War materiality.
