Pratima Kalra:
The digital world is giving a stiff competition to the analog transmission technology used in radios. MP3 players, iPods and digital television have already taken up a big share of the entertainment market. Despite this, many crazy radio fans are still looking forward to enhanced transmission technology. Industrial designers realized the potential of the nostalgia that backs up the radio market and to tap it they have innovated to enhance the acoustics and décor of the radios. Given below are 10 designer innovations to look out for.
1. Gelule Concept Radio Clock
Sequoia–studio is a consulting agency known for its industrial designs. They are committed to bring you innovative and relevant solutions for all your design needs. They always deliver to their customers’ functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics. The new Gelule Concept radio looks like a pill and its actual size too is not much deviant from an actual pill. It has omni directional speakers and an LCD display. The volume can be adjusted by rotating the speaker. It is available in several colors like yellow, red, green, white and more for you to choose from.
2. Aivan concept radio
Designer Mikael Silvanto works with the design agency Jamsen Makela Silvanto Sysio or more commonly called Aivan. For highlighting the importance of and accuracy of tuning in a radio, Mikael reinforced it with a millimeter scale. For tuning different stations you have to slide the entire radio unit up and down on the scale, there are no dials for this purpose. The radio will remind you of the old schoolness infused with enhanced technology. The sleekness of the radio makes it suitable for placing it anywhere in the house.
3. Radio Active Design Concept
With the help of plastic injection technology, Erez Bar Am, an industrial designer developed the Active Radio. It is an analog radio in which you have to physically move the strings for tuning into different stations. For adjusting the volume too you have to rotate the strings. The main frame of the radio is made in plastic and it is draped in different fabrics. The thought behind the design is to bring out a new behavioral relation between man and machine.
4. Iona Cube - Internet Whiz Radio
Cambridge consultants have designed the Iona Cube Internet Whiz Radio. It is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and you can hook it to the incoming Wi-Fi network. The compact looking cubical radio gives you access to 10,000 internet radio stations. Changing stations is very simple; pre programmed stations can be changed just by turning the sides of the cube. Out of the six sides, four act as station changers, one has a speaker and the sixth side is used for turn on and off the radio by twisting it.
5. RFID Radio Concept
Matt Brown has designed a unique laser cut radio that uses a built in RFID tag which interacts with speakers for broadcasting messages and changing radio stations which have been pre programmed. The speakers have the RIFD readers in them and when the paper RIFD radio is placed over the speaker the stations will tune themselves. Designed for music lovers, when Matt Brown was working on the design he brainstormed with various musicians to create a radio with all the features that maximum music lovers look forward to.
6. CBC + Radio Canada
Toronto based Science+ sons are creative design consultants and they work on products to give you affordability, quality and reliability. This time to give homage to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and to bring to the CBC fans a radio with permanent dials to the two CBC radio stations; they worked extensively with many experts. Added feature like compatibility with MP3 players and other podcasts make the radio lovable. The outer cage of the radio is built using Maple and aluminum which give it a toned down classic appeal.
7. Cdesign Citroen radio concept
Still in the nascent stages of development, once the concept Cdesign Citroen radio gets ready, it might revolutionize the use of radios. The radio will be mounted on a spring body and all you have to do to play music is push the spring down. For switching stations, you have to simply twist the circular head. The radio will have six pencil battery with a 9V DC power and built in speakers. This will make it portable and you can easily carry it anyplace.
8. Hidden Radio
John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen is an experienced industrial and user interface designer who has worked as a senior designer with companies like Motorola and HP. The Hidden Radio created by him has many concealed features. From the outside the radio is a simple cylindrical object with no protrusions. All functions are worked by moving the cap. If you keep pulling it the volume will increase and if you will twist and rotate it, the stations will change. There is an LED light in the base and it will become darker or lighter with the changing of stations.
9. Helio Radio Concept by Lea Longis
A color packed radio, built with translucent and flexible solar panels, the Helio Radio concept is sure to entice you. The designer of the radio is Lea Longis and she borrowed the solar panel plates from the World Technology Award winning, professor Gratzel. The radio gets its power from sunlight and it is the complementing colors of the panels which make sure that most spectrum of light gets enraptured. Longis wants to revive back the status quo of radio but in a green manner.
10. Ovate Radio
Industrial designer Alek Shnayder has designed the Ovate Radio for exploring the concept of dematerialization. Consumers always look forward to unique experiences without compromising on the basic services. Radios are being replaced with modern iPods; Mp3 players etc, but if tuning stations became simpler and easier, music lovers would definitely like to recede back. The ovate Radio has no dials, switches or knobs; for playing music you simply have to flip open the cap. For changing stations you have to rotate the cap and for adjusting the volume, you have to pull the cap.
