VINTAGE BRIONVEGA RADIO BY ZANUSO AND SAPPER

Rare vintage radio.
The TS255 Radio was designed by Richard Sapper and Macro Zanuso in 1964. Its simple and it is functional but it is above all a fantastic object of cubist design.
It is impossible to know what's hidden within the black cube. To find out you have to open it. Inside you find the display and the control panel on the right hand side of the cube.
This particular model features a very rare asymetrical face and control design. The Volume knob is missing but the stem is still in place and can be used to control the volume.

SHOTGUNNED TRUCKS SIGN

Comedian Eddie Izzard has a bit in one of his comedy routines about how destruction is a creative act. He supposes that being a young punk kid and throwing a rock through a window is creative because it changes the energy of the thing you are destroying. If that's the case then the shotgun wielding Michelangelo who created this piece was a master. Riddled with bullet holes this sign has gone from instruction to inspiration. I think my favorite thing about it is the way the force of the bullets created little even circles of crazing and cracking around the point in which they penetrated the sign. It's a bullet battered beauty! I haven't measured it but I would estimate it at 10" x 32".

It can be plugged in with the cord or toted around full of D cell batteries for portable power.

MOD LAMP AND TOAST COASTERS

This awesome table lamp has a 3 way switch. Light the top, then the bottom, then the whole lamp. Use it for your end table and you have a perfect percolation of powerful projection (say that 5 times fast.) The chrome has some pitting but what disco doesn't look a little dingy in the daylight?
Paired here with toast coasters. Yup, TOAST COASTERS. This set of 3 kids play food slices of bread has been re-purposed. While recently looking for coasters for a friend who has nice furniture it came to my attention that coasters stink and are often overpriced. So in the cheeky spirit of a conversation piece these three plastic slices now provide the protection your table top so desperately deserves. Go nuts with your sweaty drinks and don't worry about the mold! Two white one wheat.
