Presenting one of the most celebrated and revolutionary masterpieces in the history of industrial design: the Brionvega TS 522 "Radio Cubo".

The iconic design features two folding cubes made of high-quality ABS plastic, connected by a robust hinge, and equipped with an ingeniously recessed chrome handle.
