AboutBraun Atelier 1-8 STEREO radio and Braun L11 design speaker
This particular radio-record player combination is in nice cosmetic condition considering its age. The tube radio picks up LW, MW, and UKW signals (Broadcast, Long Wave, and FM).
This combination was designed by Dieter Rams and Hans Gugelot (Bauhaus / Ulmer Schule HFG aka \"Ulm College of Design\"). It has no nickname unlike the SK \"Snow White\'s Coffin\" series with its translucent plastic lid, but it is a classic piece of design and unlikely to ever be remade...
Beautiful cream white metal casing with ash-veneer wooden sides. As already mentioned cosmetic is for it years good with little signs of wear, no cracks, but few signs of age. Please see pictures below. It\'s missing the record player which was located below the wooden lid. Furthermore the lid is not complete and misses the right hinge. It\'s been \"fixed\" using a screw. So please consider this before offerding.
Technically speaking the radio works beautifully at all signals, sound is strong and clear, has some nice reception even without an external antenna.
All switches and knobs work well (treble, bass, etc.). Tubes can be replaced easily and the schematic and full technical specifications can be found is a quick overview:
- weight: 13.3 kg / 29 lb 4.7 oz (29.295 lb)
- dimensions: 583 x 293 x 290 mm / 23 x 11.5 x 11.4 inch
- power supply (switchable) 110; 125; 150; 220; 240 Volt 50-60hz
Set includes the L11 speaker which is in good cosmetic condition and fully functionally. This set will be delivered in two parcels! Has a German power cord, an universal plug adapter can be purchased on for $3 extra for example.

BRAUN Atelier 1-8 // DIETER RAMS (1932- present).
\"The clarity of form and minimalist design vocabulary associated with the German designer Dieter Rams is closely identified with the BRAUN Company. Many of his designs for domestic appliances and audio equipment feature in the permanent collections of leading museums that collect and promote design, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, in New York, which began to collect Braun products in 1958.
After studying architecture at the Wiesbaden Academy of Applied Arts from 1947 to 1953 he spent three years as an apprentice cabinetmaker. This was followed by a period in architectural offices until he joined Braun in 1955. Rams epitomized the clean, austere appearance associated with a functional aesthetic and with associate designer, Hans Gugelot. The Braun range won every international design prize going. At this time he was also involved in furniture development with the designer, physicist, and entrepreneur Otto Zapf (born 1931).
As Braun\'s design director (from 1960), he was responsible for establishing a cleanly stated and distinctive aesthetic for a wide range of products from kitchen appliances to alarm clocks, calculators, lighters, and electric razors. This aesthetic was also in tune with the outlook of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (ULMER SCHOOL), a progressive design academy with links to Braun that had been first established in 1954. Other companies with which Rams has been associated include the furniture manufacturer Vitsoe (established 1959), the door handle manufacturer FSB (established 1881), and the lighting producer Tecnolumen (established 1980). His clearly articulated and austere “606-shelf” unit for Vitsoe (1960) remained in production for more than 40 years.
He has held a number of academic posts including, from 1981, a professorship in industrial design in Hamburg. In 1987 he became president of the German Rat-F-R-Formgebung (Design Council), which for many years had promoted the values associated with ideas of good design. In a recent design magazine (ICON), Rams is quoted as saying, ” As designers we have a great responsibility. I believe designers should eliminate the unnecessary. That means eliminating everything that is modish because this kind of thing is only short lived.”
Dieter Rams has received many international design awards throughout his career and his work is considered to be “design classics of the highest.\"
