Pop up the Volume

After more than fifty years the ts502 radiocubo – Brionvega’s iconic pop radio – returns.
Designed in 1964 by Richard Sapper and Marco Zanuso, radiocubo is a paean to the Italy of those years, its transformations and its freedom.

Its iconic form consists of two cube-shaped volumes: one containing the speaker, the other the electronics.
When open the interaction between the two modules generates a stereophonic effect, when closed it becomes an elegant coloured shell.

Designer

Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper

In the early 1960s, began an important collaboration between German designer Richard Sapper and the designer and architect Marco Zanuso, a partnership that would last for many years. Brionvega, an Italian electronics company which aimed to compete with Japanese and German producers, commissioned Sapper and Zanuso to create several radio and television sets. These products soon became icons of Italian design.
