Radio in Cristallo Stereo by Cassina
Equal parts sculpture and sonic powerhouse, this stunner is a reissue of a playful 1938 design by Franco Albini. Starting with a radio that he’d received as a wedding gift, the Italian architect set out to reduce the design down to its core components, which he then mounted between two panes of glass. Limited to an edition of five, the 2021 remaster adds Bluetooth capabilities for easy streaming. Price upon request
