Brionvega

Brionvega turns the icons of postwar Italian electronics into sculptural masterpieces. Bridging avant-garde design with precision engineering, each piece revives theradical spirit of the 1960s, a time when technology dared to be beautiful. These are not just objects of utility, but artifacts of culture, crafted to stand the test of time.

Few brands have shaped the visual language of modern technology the way Brionvega has. Founded in Milan in 1945, in the wake of a war-torn Europe eager to rebuild, the company emerged with a singular ambition: to infuse electronics with beauty. From the beginning, Brionvega set itself apart, not just through innovation, but through imagination.

By the early 1960s, as Italy entered its economic and cultural renaissance, Brionvega became a beacon of industrial design. The brand enlisted a new generation of creative minds, Marco Zanuso, Richard Sapper, the Castiglioni brothers, Mario Bellini, Ettore Sottsass, who saw no reason why a radio or television could not also be a work of art. What followed was a series of genre-defining objects that challenged expectations and redefined the home.

There was the Doney, Europe’s first portable transistor TV, a sleek and compact machine that signaled a new era of mobility. The Algol followed, all angles and attitude, with its distinctive tilted screen and space age presence. And then came the TS 502, better known as the Radiocubo, a bold, boxy radio that opened on a hinge like a secret being revealed. With the RR 126, a modular stereo system that looked more like a sculpture than a piece of audio equipment, Brionvega cemented its place in design history. These pieces were not just functional, they were expressive, architectural, and unapologetically modern.

Today, under the careful stewardship of SIM2 Multimedia, Brionvega continues to
revisit and reissue its most iconic designs, not as nostalgic reproductions,
but as living objects, updated with contemporary technology and finished by hand in Italy. Every curve, color, and component is chosen with reverence to the original, yet tailored for the present. From lacquered aluminum shells to polished wood panels, each piece is made with the same care and conviction that defined the originals.

Brionvega’s design philosophy remains unwavering: technology should not hide in plain sight. It should stand proudly, as part of the architecture of a space, as an extension of personal style. Whether it’s the vibrant profile of a Radiocubo in fire orange, the geometric poise of an RR 226, or the timeless charm of an Algol perched on a shelf, Brionvega invites design lovers to reimagine their relationship with the objects that power daily life.

Brionvega is not simply about radios and televisions. It is about making the invisible visible, the functional beautiful, and the everyday extraordinary.
