About
The Braun HL 70 hair dryer is a landmark in domestic product design. Where competitors offered decorative shells, Rams proposed a tool — a pure cylinder of white ABS with a single speed switch. Its form follows airflow and function with an honesty that remains striking more than fifty years on.
