Their cooperation began in 1946 and they immediately reached international recognitions and achievements, while contributing to the success of companies such as Brionvega, Cassina and Flos. They get several awards, taking the italian design right on top of the international attention. In 1965 they jointly designed radiofonografo which will become a symbol of italian handcrafting.
A sound machine or musical robot, as it has been called in the past, the rr226 radiofonografo achieves balance and acoustic excellence thanks to the choices and the expert craftsmanship of sound professionals who have taken care of every production aspect. The wood and sanding give the rr226 radiofonografo a warm, enveloping and Hi-Fi sound.
Each radiofonografo is a unique piece of craftsmanship that respects a controlled production process of the highest precision and is completely Made in Italy. The buttons, potentiometers and shells of the main body are manufactured using numerically controlled milling machines, while the pedestal is produced using a sand-casting and moulding process. Every part of the radiofonografo is hand-varnished with the utmost precision. Every aspect of the product is the work of the most highly-skilled craftsmen, who are supervised by our sound professionals: the sanding of the wooden panels, the assembly of the different components, the finish of the pedestal and the application of the silk-screen prints are all processes through which traditional Italian craftsmanship makes each radiofonografo unique.
