The Radiofonografo epitomised the growing trend for transforming all-in-one high-fidelity devices into objects that were suitable for the new wave of interior design, without cramping quality or technology.

As its name suggests, the Radiofonografo originally contained a record player and a radio. Comprising of a central unit on a sturdy steel stand, the console has a record deck up top and two square speakers on either side. The anthropomorphized fascia arranges the knobs and buttons in a purist, minimal fashion, with the twin frequency dials acting as arched ‘eyebrows’. Each speaker is drilled with over-sized holes, and they can be detached and stacked to create a compact sonic cube.

The Castiglionis were hugely prolific, working in product design and architecture, creating furniture, watches, consumer goods, and even watches. The Radiofonografo comes from an era when industrial design was gaining its own voice, splicing the colours and forms of fashion and art with the great strides in technological innovation being made at the time. Subtly updated for modern ears, the contemporary Radiofonografo includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections in addition to the Project turntable and AM/FM radio (no DAB sadly).
