Description from the seller
Globe with integrated battery-powered radio – Italian design – 1960s
Original and sought-after wooden desk globe, made in Italy in the 1960s, which houses a battery-powered radio perfectly integrated into its structure. An object that best represents the multifunctional design of the period, when aesthetics, technology, and craftsmanship merged to create elegant and innovative furnishing accessories.
Entirely made of wood, the globe is enhanced by refined classic-style cartography with meridian and equatorial belt decorated. The sober lines of the turned stand and the warm wood tone give it a timeless charm, making it an ideal complement for an office, a bookcase, a living room, or a collection dedicated to 20th-century design.
The true peculiarity of this piece is the presence of the battery-powered radio hidden inside the globe, an ingenious solution typical of the era that fuses functionality and decorative value. Even when fully closed, the globe preserves an elegant and refined aesthetic, becoming an authentic furnishing element.
This is an item that is increasingly hard to find today, particularly appreciated by collectors of vintage radios, globes, and Italian design.
