Since the iconic Braun Wandanlage began development in 1961, technology has evolved. And now, 60 years later, Virgil Abloh has reimagined it for 2021. Abloh has analysed and explored the original designs from the inside out, utilising his personal influences to create a piece of "Functional Art" that still maintains Braun’s original principle that good design is built to last.
