The TS255 Radio was designed by Richard Sapper and Macro Zanuso in 1964. Its simple and it is functional but it is above all a fantastic object of cubist design.
It is impossible to know what's hidden within the black cube. To find out you have to open it. Inside you find the display and the control panel on the right hand side of the cube. Only the on/off button which is at the same time the volume control. is on the left hand side in the middle of the speaker. The technics were re-established by Brionvega in 2001.

The TS522 differs from modern radios who have no demands on design. The pure cube and the classic panel show how superiour the TS522 really is.

Radio TS522 it is called: the icon of design radios by Brionvega.
