The Braun+Design Börse is an annual event and fair focusing on products from the Braun company. Braun might not be the design icon it was 40 years ago, but starting in 1955, it profoundly impacted the design world, starting with the cooperation with the Ulm School of Design.

With Dieter Rams as the Head of the Design group, Braun became a Design Icon. Over the decades, many legendary products have been created. Most of them inspired other companies, such as Apple, immensely.

So, it's no surprise that a huge Braun collectors community exists worldwide. Most of these people collect Braun products for a living. These people are all over the place, from South Korea to Turkey to the US. And, of course, most of them are based in Germany.

Because of this, since 1982, there has been an annual event at the Braun HQ (Kronberg, Germany) for these people to come together. Initially, it was held multiple times per year, but it was later decided that once per year was better.

When I learned about this event last year from a collector in Turkey (thank you, Cem!), I planned a trip to Frankfurt for this year's Braun Börse. It was the perfect place for any Braun or Dieter Rams enthusiasts.
