Brionvega’s retro-futurist MP3 / radio stolen from the set of Fahrenheit 451
Once again, the gang at Brionvega prove that sometimes sexy is enough. The Italian company’s been doing its thing since the 1940s, and this radio is actually a refresh of a model that first debuted in 1965. The RR227 (as it’s affectionately known) is pretty straightforward — an AM / FM tuner that sports an SD card slot for MP3 or WMA playback. This bad boy also features headphone out, aux in, and a USB connection. It will run off of European mains power (Yanks will need to get an AC adapter) or, if you’re picnicking with a loved one near the Seine, it also runs off batteries. Available in black, white, or red. Retails for €199 (about $260). More pics after the break.
