Vintage Europhon radio in Space Age style, designed by Adriano Rampoldi and produced in Italy in the late 1960s / early 1970s. Europhon was an important Italian manufacturer active during the golden age of post-war industrial design, known for combining forward-looking aesthetics, innovative materials and reliable consumer electronics. Their radios from this period reflect the optimistic, futuristic spirit of the Space Age and were widely present in Italian domestic interiors. This model is less commonly encountered compared to the more widespread Europhon 806 series, making it a more uncommon variant within Europhon’s Space Age production. As with many Italian radios of the period, production numbers were relatively limited and original documentation is scarce, adding to its collectible appeal. The radio is entirely made of plastic, featuring a woodgrain-effect finish typical of the era. The front panel is plastic with an anodized-aluminum visual effect, complemented by a plexiglass dial scale with printed station markings, a distinctive element of late 1960s Italian radio design.
