This week two highly anticipated packages arrived at my door.

“Less and more” the design ethos of Dieter rams and…

A 1950s Braun SK4 record player, or more commonly known as “Snow white’s coffin”.

The name Snow White’s coffin was given due to the player’s clear acrylic cover.

The book covers many aspects of design including other Braun designers like Reinhold Weiss and Florian Seiffert.

There is a neat section with original sketches and the actual finished design on the next page.

The book is quite meaty with a lot of great photography. It’s definitely worth a look.
