A radio at the forefront of modern Italian design, developed from a canny intuition to put the electrical components in plain view, thereby exposing the public to the technology, demonstrating how it works.
With the Radio Cristallo of 1938, created by reassembling a wedding gift, Franco Albini expresses his enthusiasm for progress, transforming technology into a design piece that narrates the radio itself, thanks to the thin, transparent glass sheets that surround the radio itself.
This design accessory gets a contemporary technology upgrade with incorporated Bluetooth and an optional subwoofer to connect to WiFi ‒ for an even more encompassing ambiance. In the super-limited edition of just five pieces, the Radio in Cristallo L.E. has an electronic circuit board and hand-soldered circuits.
