      Braun Table Radiogram (SK5)

      As a design aficionado, it should come as no surprise that I really like the work of Dieter Rams, designer for Braun.

      Here we have his iconic SK5 stereo, often referred to as Snow White's coffin.

      Here's a brief overview from Science Museum's Object Wiki.

      This Table Radiogram Model SK5 from Braun combines a four-speed record-playing deck and a radio receiver. Braun products were appreciated for their technical quality and for their severe aesthetic appeal, which was defined by the visionary designer Dieter Rams whose design credo was ‘back to purity, back to simplicity’.

      The SK5 was released in 1958.
