The artwork, titled “Calculator Braun ET66,” was created by Dieter Rams in 1987 and belongs to the design genre.
The Braun ET66 calculator is an exemplar of minimalist design, embodying the functionalist principles espoused by Rams. The device features a rectangular form factor with rounded edges, encapsulated in a sleek black casing. The layout is meticulously organized, with rubberized, tactile buttons arranged in a grid. The keys are color-coded: numeric and operational keys in gray, memory keys in green, and the ‘equals’ key highlighted in yellow, facilitating easy use. At the top, a small display screen is recessed within the body of the calculator, above which the brand ‘Braun’ is subtly imprinted. The overall aesthetic radiates a timeless elegance, emphasizing simplicity, usability, and efficiency.
