Model One Tivoli Radio

Another amazing designer. 

Henry Kloss (pronounced “close”) was one of the original innovators of audio engineering, developing Hi-Fidelity speakers and radio receivers in the 1950s, and later the cassette deck.  In 1957, he founded his company KLH which produced the first small FM radio with high selectivity.  After a vigorous career in audio and television development, he co-created Tivoli Audio and produced the Model One Radio with functional design and great sound in mind.  It’s perfect and completely worth it.  WNYC public radio never sounded so good!


(although I’m not sure I love the new colors).
