Already in 1965 Brionvega pesents its Radio rr127 in America.

Its characteristic geometrical shape and the American market inspired the design lovers to the immediate renaming of the radio rr127. They named it the "Brionvega - Scyscraper".

The Radio rr227 is a game between functional quality and original shape. But also a game in the room. Horizontal or vertical? You have to decide. If the y lay it conciliates Italian coolness, entraps to enjoy the sound, underlines a meditative lifestyle. If it stands vertically, it aspires for always higher goals. So that it attracts notice to the events. Even if it becomes cramped. Up in the air, with an antenna.

The scyscraper-radio can stand or lay. So you will have two different radios. Everyone can decide themself. The frequencies are noted twice, the design of the numbers reminds on a earlier American car radio. The keys are sinkable. In 1965 it was a total innovation. The shape is descrete, easy to handle, beautiful for the eye.

The radio rr227 has new funcions and builds the heart of a modular audio system, on which you can connect a MP3/WMA-Player, a PC or another machine via the USB-Port or MiniSD. A system, open for the signs and signals of our time.

The Radio rr127 was developed by Marco Zanuso, the brilliant father of many Brionvega - products and founder of innovative shapes, which overspend the imagination, and and which is unimitable in its capability, to integrate design and technique with each other.
