A new radio has been launched this week in the form
of the Vitra Eames price at US$ 999, which will be made available in a limited run
of just 999 units. The unique radio was designed by Charles and Ray Eames back
in 1946 but rejected in favour of a more “normal” design explains the team that
have resurrected one of the duo’s last products and made it available in a
limited edition run.
More than 70 years later, Vitra has joined the Eames
Office to revive the design of this compact radio, which was a favourite of
Charles and Ray. Encased in an elegant walnut cabinet and equipped with
up-to-date technology by the British manufacturer REVO, the Eames Radio today
bears witness to the designer couple’s unwavering belief in progress.
