A forgotten architectural obsession, curved glass brick facades.

My dream is to bring sunken living rooms and the architecture of intimacy back. Conversation pits 1950s-1970s.

@formsarchive Oh wow. That is some fantastic retro-futurism aha. Weirdly reminiscent of Dyson's much more recent approach to fans

@TypeThrow666 Well put. The color associations feel intuitive rather than explicit! And the orange one, you'll never guess it... it's a desk fan, "Braun HL1" design by Reinhold Weiss in 1961.

@Fewmaster This is amazing! One thing Braun did exceptionally well was treating color as information rather than ornament. I love the round case more than I can describe.

@formsarchive Orange. Same product, different distribution of a popular 70s color, marketing for women - leaving a backdoor open (square case) for fashion aware men.

@formsarchive Fun fact: the needle comes up from below, so you need to load the disc upside down for the side you want to play.

A portable music system from 1959. It still feels contemporary. Braun TP 1 Designed by Dieter Rams, 1959.

@Dgingsz We used to have a window like that at our old house, I always liked it as a child.
