Braille Box

The Braille Box was developed to print out Braille documents on reprographic paper at high speeds. Its clear-cut form highlights the aspect of speed, while the use of aluminium and laminated glass renders a high-grade and solid impression. Distinct lines, recessed screws and aluminium plates also contribute to a clear design. The box’s asymmetric shape and the choice of materials and colours serve to enhance tactile and visual perception as well as to facilitate operability for visually impaired users. The two surface areas, clearly differentiated by colour, add direction and a certain weightiness while simultaneously reducing the perceived size of the unit. A recess at the backside provides space for all wiring so that the printer may be placed in a corner without pinching any cables. Since the Braille printer constitutes a self-contained unit, the usual generation of noise is avoided.
