Braun HL-1 Model Study

Iconic Braun HL 1 fan, designed by Reinhold Weiss in 1959 for Braun AG in Frankfurt, Germany.

This table fan operates with two speed settings and features a grey-painted metal base (with its original sticker and soft-corner stands), a chrome metal frame, and a light grey (white) plastic housing. The transparent plastic cover, proudly bearing the Braun logo, encloses the switch and fan blades.​​​​​​​

After blocking out the base, housing, and chrome frame, I refined each component, applied realistic materials for metal and plastic, and added the transparent cover. Details like the Braun logo, original sticker, and a subtle repaired crack complete the authenticity. Finally, I fine-tuned lighting and camera angles to highlight its timeless design.
