For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.

What are your favorite audio components and speakers based on the way they look (looked).  Yes, I know that sound is what counts and that is my major influence, but I do enjoy well designed/good looking products.   I no longer do, but did have a collection of art deco radios, both table models and consoles.....and that was all about design rather than their audiophile qualities.  Thanks

I have a small collection of silver-faced (1977-80) amps and receivers simply because I like the way they look.

I always enjoyed the look of Braun stereo equipment designed by Dieter Rams: https://www.economist.com/1843/2019/03/01/a-sound-system-that-speaks-for-itself

 Burmester makes the best looking gear in my eyes. Especially the 911Mk3 amp. Piece of art.

Millercarbon, that is the ugliest pile of stuff, I've ever seen in one place at one time. Ugly equipment, ugly rug, ugly wall paper, ugly chair... and a lava lamp? Gimmie a break! And you're not even embarrassed about showing it... I guess some people have no shame!
