Magno Wooden Radio

Aesthetics is only one of the deciding factors behind the hard woods that designer Singgih Kartono selects for these two-tone radios. With the richness derived from instruments made of wood in mind, organic vitality matters just as much. So, too, the planet. The Indonesian designer enlists local carpenters in areas with high unemployment. And instead of simple (and often forgettable) souvenirs, they craft the shell with locally harvested wood, such as ebony.
