Product description
Our Sandmännchen much more than just a television character—he is a national cultural treasure who has accompanied generations: as early as 1961, not only did the first man, Yuri Gagarin, fly Sandmännchen space, but so did the Sandmännchen . In the years that followed, the Sandmännchen repeatedly traveled through space Sandmännchen his imaginative rockets, visited space stations, and drove his moon rover, which was spectacular for its time, across the barren surface of the moon. Inspired by this boundless curiosity, KPM Berlin, in collaboration with rbb media, is launching an exclusive platinum edition limited to just 66 copies.
The modern interpretation of the iconic Sandman, created by Gerhard Behrendt in 1959 for East German television, was redesigned by KPM chief designer Thomas Wenzel for its 65th birthday and combines traditional craftsmanship with nostalgic charm. Each individual Sandman is handmade in our factory in Tiergarten, hand-painted with glossy platinum in the master painting studio of KPM Berlin, and individually numbered by hand. The perfect combination of two renowned Berlin cultural treasures.
