Go to Design Forum Finland, Erottajankatu 7 (open Mon-Fri 10 am – 7 pm, Sat 10 am – 6 pm, Sun noon - 5 pm).
Go through the shop without looking at the tempting Kakkugalleria cakes to the very end of the next room until you face the wall with text aivan!.
Turn.
There on the table is - no, I´m sorry, not the radio, but the picture of the radio I fell in love instantly with – even if I do listen to the radio pretty seldom. (But it is an another story.) Mikael Silvanto, one of The Young Designer of the Year 2010 prize winners and a member of design collective Aivan! is the proud father of this new amazing piece, that until the autumn is only a prototype, not a product – even if it has already been widely published in international design magazines as Wallpaper and Viewpoint. He got the idea to his AM/FM radio 08 from a digital calliper. It is beautiful, visual, clean, funny, and simple to tune.
”Even my grandmother can use it”, Mikael says.
