Braun HL 70
A revision of Weiss' iconic HL 1 Multiwind desk fan issued a decade earlier, registering Braun's shift of the late 60's from functionalism proper towards a general, and more affirmative, technological expressivism. Bright synthetic colour replaces the austere palate of greys; form is reduced to the primitive cylinder; functional controls are simplified; a transparent cradle, giving a gravity defying appearance, replaces the fixed stem and base arrangement of the earlier design.
An example is held in the MoMA permanent collection.
