A radio is much more than a simple object: it is a fragment of time preserved in matter, a small domestic sculpture that tells the story of the era when the radio itself was the beating heart of the home.

Its soft and compact shapes, typical of 1940s–1950s design, instantly evoke a world of intimate living rooms, warm lights, and voices coming from afar. The metallic color, deep and glossy, has an almost jewel-like presence: elegant, enveloping, capable of catching the eye even when off. The front grills and light-colored knobs add rhythm and character, creating a perfect balance between functionality and style.

It is ideal for those who love vintage design, for collectors, or for anyone wanting to add personality to a bookshelf, a desk, or a corner dedicated to objects that tell stories.

Placed in a modern interior, it creates a refined contrast; inserted into a retro setting, it becomes a natural presence, almost as if it had always been there.
A small object, yes, but with a big soul, capable of evoking sounds, emotions, and memories of a time when a simple radio was enough to feel connected to the world.

Dimensions: 13 x 8 x 6 cm.
