Radio TS 502

1:1 scale model of the famous radio originally designed by Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper in 1962, released to the market two years later by the Italian company Brionvega.

The TS 502 - also known as the "Cube" - is a world icon of industrial design of the 1960s, which is exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A true object of design, made up of two cubic plastic shells that make it look like a bevel parallelepiped: when open, radio reception is active, while when closed it is at rest. Thanks to the comfortable handle, this design object quickly became the symbol of portable radio all over the world.

The model is as accurate as possible, with all the details I managed to recreate with Lego parts. The handle is movable as well as the antenna, and the hinges allow to open it up to 180°. The fact that this Lego version is in 1:1 scale would possibly allow you to host the necessary parts to make it fully functional as the real one.

I really hope you enjoy my creation!
