Brionvega - Television - RARE Algol 3 12" Orange

Iconic and absolute emblem of Italian industrial design, we present the famous Brionvega Algol 3 portable television in its splendid and highly sought-after Lobster Orange color.

Designed in 1964 by the partnership between:
- Marco Zanuso (1916–2001): Founding father of Italian design and winner of 5 Compassi d'Oro. He was a pioneer in the use of plastic materials (such as ABS) applied to mass industrial production.
- Richard Sapper (1932–2015): German design genius with 10 Compassi d'Oro in his career. Famous for merging technical precision, pure geometries, and ironic or kinetic details (he also designed the Tizio lamp for Artemide).

The Algol is famous worldwide for its tilted screen (designed to be viewed even when resting on the ground) and for the distinctive retractable metal handle. This 12-inch model perfectly embodies the Space Age spirit and is exhibited in the most important museums of art and design, including MoMA in New York.

In 1970, Brionvega won the Compasso d'Oro for Career for its overall production. The official motivation celebrated the company for having collaborated with the best Italian designers and for the very high cultural value of icons such as the Radio Cubo and the Algol itself.
