About the work
The colours and futuristic design characterise the "Solitär" as a typical product of the 1970s. It was a time of space enthusiasm and the round, slightly curved basic shape gave the travel hairdryer the appearance of an extraterrestrial flying object. The appliance was suitable for drying hair quickly, but the lack of a handle was rather unpleasant when creating more elaborate hairstyle
