cheesign designers bring back vintage radios with a peculiar twist
a post modern look at vintage radios, using the most basic components: antenna and button.
eindhoven-based designers amin saadat and shahab mahboobi from cheesign designers bring back vintage radios with their ‘roomizi’ product. crafted with walnut wood and covered in a thick layer of epoxy resin and hanging copper, the piece challenges the common — or even stereotypical– formula of a chic post-modern design.

as a whole, cheesign designers‘ product offers a peculiar twist to vintage radios by extracting the strictly essential elements of such devices. the antenna, a forgotten component of the radio, now appears with a bold signature style alongside a multi-functional button for tuning, volume control and turning on or off. these clear and practical features, in the end, emphasizes the most important quality of roomizi: its simplicity.
