ONDAX MARLY & MAGNAFON 322 - PAIR OF 1950s RADIOS - PINK & GREEN - COLLECTOR’S ITEM - EXTREMELY RARE Tube radio - Multiple models

LOTTO 2 RADIO VINTAGE ANNI ’50 – ONDAX MARLY (1958) AND MAGNAFON 322 (1959)

Two iconic colors, two countries, two splendid interpreters of radio design from the 1950s.

The lot includes an Ondax Marly from 1958, produced in France, and a Magnafon 322 from 1959, produced in Italy. Two valve radios that are compact and particularly decorative, united by lines typical of the Fifties but characterized by very different personalities.

The Ondax Marly, in its charming pastel turquoise, perfectly represents the French taste of the second half of the 1950s. The large horizontal grille, the brick-red spoke scale, and the cream-colored controls create an elegant and surprisingly modern color contrast. The compact proportions and clean lines fully recall the Mid-Century Modern taste, making it an object capable of fitting with great personality even in a contemporary interior.

The Magnafon 322, produced in Desio in 1959, instead aims for a highly successful combination of salmon pink and cream. The two-tone case, the large front grille, and the frequency scale give it a character immediately recognizable, halfway between the design of the late 1950s and the early 1960s.

A particularly aesthetically pleasing antique Italian radio, enhanced by a vibrant color combination and today greatly sought-after among original decorative objects from the period.
