Brionvega Radio Cube mod. TS505, Richard Sapper and Marco Zanuso

About the Item

One of the pieces destined to become a cult object, sought after by collectors everywhere, better known as the Cube radio. It was designed in 1964 by Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper for Brionvega. Milanese the former, German-born the latter, the two began collaborating in 1959 The Cube radio is, like its predecessors, a revolutionary object, colored and no longer gray and with a novel shape: a parallelepiped with rounded corners formed by two shells that open and close like a book. When open, the radio performs its primary function, revealing the internal mechanical part. When closed, it becomes a sculptural object with a continuous, polished appearance, accentuated by the use of materials such as plastic and zamak metal alloy
