Dolmen Mini Radio

Radio design in the last 10 years has taken a major backseat to the ubiquitous digital formats like mp3 and video. This is what makes this design by René Adda so appealing. It's a radio that actually looks like it was made in this century.

Details

The simple and elegant form have all the necessary ingredients for a radio: analog knob tuner, electronic volume control, front speaker and telescopic antenna. The radio's material comes in 2 different types either catering to the traditional (wood) or the eclectic (rubber). There is an AM/FM LED indicator at the front: AM is red, FM is green.

The radio was designed in 2004 for Lexon in France. It was featured on the cover of NewsWeek in July, 2005 as an example of exceptional design.

Dimensions: 3.75"h x 5.25"w x 1.75"d. Available from the MoMA store.

It kinda looks like the 70s meets the Jetsons...It's a neat gift idea, but not sure how widespread marketing will go...
