Reborn In The Next Century
Vitra Eames radio

In the 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames experimented with the moulded plywood technique they developed for the US military. They designed various furniture pieces and also a series of radios for different manufacturers. There was one particular radio design from 1946 that was rejected by its manufacturer as it was just too avant-garde and not ‘normal’. The design has been picked up by VITRA and this Eames radio is finally made into production over 70 years later.

The original radio design with a moulded plywood case is now revived with the same compact shape and austere, but it is now encased with elegant walnut cabinet with a black façade and equipped with modern technology by British manufacturer REVO. The radio is limited to 999 units only.
