Dieter Rams 1976’ Speech: Design by Vitsœ
The majority of products that we encounter in our day-to-day lives scream for attention or try to impress us with their magnificence or miniscule size. These objects try to dictate our relationships with them. Good design creates powerful long-lasting relationships with products as good design creates objects with balanced proportions; at Vitsœ we go further by trying to create objects in balanced proportion with people.

Braun L 450/TG 60/TS 45 by Dieter Rams
In the mid-1960s it was unusual to say the least in Germany to hang a hi-fi system on the wall like a painting, but today brands such as Band & Olufsen do so as a matter of course. Naturally, the Braun modules can also be placed horizontally on a table or on a shelf but only on the wall do they develop their greatest appeal.

Braun TP 1 by Dieter Rams
The model for today’s micro-stereo systems was not the Sony Walkman from the year 1979, but a system appliance Dieter Rams designed 20 years earlier for Braun. He combined the newly developed pocket radio T 4 with a miniature record player, which docks on. Playing involves the pick-up being pressed down onto the record via a spring balancer, while in rest mode it disappears behind a removable curtain.
See the almighty TP 1 playing the almighty Beatles!
