IRRADIO - PENNY - MILANO 1958 - DESIGN OBJECT - VERY RARE Tube radio

Rarissima Irradio Penny of 1958, elegant Italian valve radio with medium and short wave reception. Its strong point is undoubtedly the front, characterized by a wonderful chromed grille with a geometric design, perfectly matched to the cream-colored cabinet. In the center of the speaker scale lies the most distinctive detail: a small female figure singing into a microphone, visible through a sort of little window carved into the chromed structure. An original and evocative element that perfectly recalls the famous Irradio slogan: “The voice that enchants.” The speaker scale, with numerous international cities and stations, completes a typically Fifties design, rich in details yet elegant and compact at the same time. A model that appears very rarely on the market and that deserves the attention of collectors. A particular specimen, recognizable at first glance and difficult to find at auction with these characteristics.
