Magno all-wood 70s-style radio
This might look like a portable radio from the 70s, but it’s actually a very modern piece of design from Singgih Kartono – the Magno radio.
Clever because it’s made almost entirely out of wood – even the knobs, handle and antenna topper. Obviously the circuitry isn’t made of wood, that would be silly – and indeed a fire hazard – but you get the drift (no pun intended). It picks up AM and FM stations, runs off AA batteries and looks a lot more stylish than your everyday plastic box.
The design comes from Indonesia, but it is for sale online via Japanese retailers for the equivalent of around £75, which sounds like decent value.
