Architect
Marco Zanuso created this minimalist design in 1965, taking its name and shape from the Italian word for skyscraper: "
Grattacielo". This minimalist
Grattacielo Radio Speaker ($199) design catches the eye and the curiosity of the design. This updated version revives the timeless look and adds Bluetooth connectivity to turn it into a portable speaker that connects easily with your devices. It can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on your surroundings and has an LCD screen and a USB port to charge external devices. Available in black or white, the radio also includes a wake-up alarm with snooze feature, auxiliary audio input, and stereo headphone output, as well as the ability to listen to FM radio.
I'm a sucker for radio's and nostalgic looks as well as updated type versions. The
Tivoli Model One Bluetooth Radio ($179) keeps the understated retro looks of Henry Kloss's design and its world-class FM and AM analog tuning but adds the ability to stream music wirelessly from your phone. The compact cabinet and single speaker setup continue to provide surprisingly rich sound, and there's still an auxiliary input on the back for some of the old school aux users. It also comes in 6 different variant colors to choose from.
Width: 8.375" / Height: 4.50" / Depth: 5.25" / Weight: 4.10 lbs.
Inspired by the iconic portable radio, the Touring S brings this classic format to the modern age. Aesthetically a beautiful design. Built to deliver outstanding sound in a surprisingly small design, the
Geneva Touring S DAB Radio ($215) is a powerful portable audio solution. In addition to its FM-RDS/DAB/DAB+ digital tuner, it also has Bluetooth and a line-in jack for connecting other audio sources. The rechargeable lithium battery lasts for over 20 hours per charge, the LED display is easy to read in any condition, and at nearly three pounds, its built quality is virtually unmatched. Available in black, red, or cognac.
