Vintage 'HLD 5' Hairdryer by Reinhold Weiss for Braun
Designer: Reinhold Weiss
Maker: Braun - West germany
Year: 1972
Condition Report: Great working order, still functioning as it should with NZ plug. Plastic does show some hairline cracking along the edges, aesthetic not structural. Reach out for detailed images.

Continuing the strong design language established by Dieter Rams at Braun, the Hairdyer was always an area of exploration and innovation for the company.
The HLD 5 again modifies the form factor, experimentally shortening the nozzle in an effort to make it more minimal. The circular slit that served as the air intake on the HLD 6/61 is done away with, instead incorporating the lines-in-a-row set-up we saw on Rams' HLD 4 and many a Braun radio.
Classic Braun details in an bold orange colour make for a visually intriguing piece from a time when product design was all the more playful.
