Touch and Tune Radio

This interactive radio by Daniel Kaufman relies on light and human touch to operate its various functionalities. To raise and lower the volume, the device uses light controlled by an aperture. As for its tuning, the user simply touches or slides a finger anywhere on the mahogany veneer which is embedded with a SoftPot potentiometer. Simple shifts in functionality create new interaction and new appreciation for a classically simple product! See it in action —>

Classic Radio

There seems to be an upswing towards everything old, retro and classic and this Classic Radio fits that bill. It hosts the design cues of the old including the mechanical sensibilities and operations. It’s the prefect marriage of digital with analog, what do you think?

Radio GaGa And GuGu

Love this Portable Radio by Omar I. Huerta Cardoso for its gorgeous rippled effect and looks. The dial, the tilted stand and the clean lines are simply clever! Not much to write home in terms of features, but oodles to talk in term of sexy designing.

Realistic Paintings by William Fisk

Le peintre canadien William Fisk aime peindre au reflet près des objets du passé : un vieil appareil photo Yashica, des vielles radios avec des traits extrêmement précis. Sa série « Portraits », très réussie, nous fait hésiter entre peinture et objets réels photographiés. Plus d’images dans la suite de l’article.

Mathieu Lehanneur wraps Hybrid radio for Lexon in woven rattan

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has wrapped a pattern of woven rattan around one side of this radio for design brand Lexon, which is on show at the Maison&Objet trade fair that begins today in Paris.

Lehanneur used the natural material on his Hybrid radio for Lexon as a contrast to the digital technology. “Digital intelligence is blended here with a raw material, what might be called smart and craft,” said Lehanneur.

Formed from dried palm-like grasses and woven into a flexible material, the rattan is wrapped around one of the curved ends of the radio and framed by plastic on all sides.

Disks sticking out of the other end control the volume and radio frequency, which is shown using a small digital display on the front. The chunky antenna that pops from the top can be adjusted up and down to receive the best signal.

Small and large sizes are available, and both come with either a white or graphite-coloured case. The radio is being presented at Maison&Objet fair at the Nord Villepinte exhibition centre outside Paris, which commences today and runs until 28 January.
