'magno' wooden radio for vinçon

'magno' wooden radio for vinçon



in a time when most items are built using high tech metlas and sophisticated plastics, it is refreshing to
see a product built with simple materials. the ‘magno' wooden radio is designed by indonesian designer
singgih susilo kartono for the spanish company vinçon. each radio is hand made from locally grown
sonokeling and pine wood in singgih’s home town, temanggung. 16 hours of works goes into making
the radio, which is then individually numbered and dated. singgih also designed the product to show
off the imperfections aiming to create imperfectness. the radio is battery operated and includes FM,
AM and SW bands. oh, and forget complicated repairs, the ‘magno’ only needs some wood oil form
time to time.
