CityRadio, designed by Emanuele Pizzolorusso for Italian design brand Palomar, allows you to access local radio around the world, with a simple \u2013 and satisfying \u2013 click of a physical button. It\u2019s a contemporary re-imagination of radio\u2019s early history, where city names where displayed to identify frequencies. As travel looks to remain restricted for the time being, get your multicultural fix through the airwaves.<\/p>\n
