not on displayThe designer Dieter Rams created the "HLD 4" hairdryer, which characterised the entire Braun product line until the 1990s with its functional design language. The entire technology of this hairdryer disappears into a housing in the shape of a thick paperback book. All the functions are concentrated on the narrow side of the dryer: slots for sucking in cold air and emitting warm air, with the round button for switching on and off underneath. The small appliance was designed for quick hair drying when travelling.
