Braun, Electric Shaver Sixtant SM31 (1962)

1962
Sixtant SM 31
Gerd A. Muller, Hans Gugelot

The constructively best and formally most precious electrical razor of the sixties worldwide. For the first time, Hans Gugelot raised the effect of black and silver up to a presentation value. From now on, these colours should become part of the corporate identity of Braun Inc.

The designer Gerd Alfred Müller, together with the architect Hans Gugelot, collaborated to create the wonderful design of the electric razor for men Sixtant Braun SM 31.
They clearly applied in this design the principles of functionalism and essentialism, what allowed the German company to became very popular after World War II.
They were guided by the principle that form follows function.
This way they created a stylish new design line for men’s grooming products.
This electric razor was the first one with a platinum-coated shaver foil.

Muller, together with designer Hans Gugelot of the Ulm School of Design, collaborated to create one of Braun’s best-regarded electric razors. The foil atop each previous model had been manufactured by perforation, that is to say, punching holes into a solid sheet. But here Braun’s engineers used electrotyping, a production method whereby the foil is created chemically, into a predetermined shape. For the first time the apertures in the foil didn’t need to be shaped like the tool designed to pierce it, but could be made whatever shape one could imagine. And what Muller and Gugelot imagined were little hexagons, thus giving the model its name.

There was another bold design departure, this one via input from Fritz Eichler. The Sixtant SM 31 was black. Prior to this electric razors, and indeed everything meant to go into bathroom, was white or cream; soap-colored. The bathroom was a clean place where people went to get clean, and that was associated with white. But this magical, substantial object Braun had created, containing a sturdy motor that kicked into life confidently when the switch was activated, was a precision machine, a tool for men’s grooming.

The Sixtant SM 31 smashed all previous sales records, selling eight million units.
