VINTAGE BRAUN RT-20 RADIO - TESTED - WORKS - $1,200 - (Cambridge, MA)

The Braun RT20 was designed by Dieter Rams and manufactured from 1961- 64. The arrangement of elements, treatment of material and assembly of the RT20 illustrate Dieter’s design philosophy, demonstrating intuitive controls, a restrained use of materials and simple forms. German designer and “product architect” Dieter Rams’ work from the late 1950s through the 1980s is widely influential. Dieter’s design principles are also adhered to by Apple’s present (2013) Senior Vice President of Design at Apple Inc. Jonathan Ive’s designs for Apple can be seen as revisiting designs of earlier mid 20th century modernism which favoured simple forms, and colours which sought to comfort consumers with easy to engage interfaces and the elimination of excessive styling. ***RADIO WORKS AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE BESIDES SOME SLIGHT PITTING IN THE WOOD AND SMALL CHIPS ALONG THE EDGE (PICS 5&6)***
