About the workTransistor radios revolutionised the listening habits of young people in the late 1950s. Thanks to these lightweight, portable and battery-powered devices, it was possible to listen to music or news almost anywhere. The style of the T23 radio by Dieter Rams, who was responsible for Braun’s product design from 1955 to 1997, encapsulates the basic principles that still define the company today: a simple, clear, reduced use of forms combined with technical innovation, durability and longevity.
