The Magno Medium Radio by designer Singgih Kartono<\/p><\/div>\n

Areaware<\/a>, a New York City based eco-retailer, showed off their Magno radio product line by designer Singgih Kartono<\/span> at the Consumer Electronics Show this year.<\/p>\n

An eco radio?\u00a0 Yes, these radios are made of new growth, sustainably harvested wood from Java. Areaware<\/a> claims that for every tree that is used in production, a new one is planted. Of course, the inside of the radio is electronic–you can only take sustainable wood so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not sure what the AM\/FM nor 2.3-22 MHz SW reception would be like on the beautifully designed Magno Medium Radio<\/a>. I do know that Areaware<\/a> products tend to perform well–perhaps striking that eloquent balance between form and function.<\/p>\n

Areaware<\/a> sells two other radios: the Magno Small Radio<\/a> (AM\/FM), and the three vacuum tube 2B Radio<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I’d like all three.<\/p>\n
