The Heritage

Check out The Heritage! A super sexy, multi-format table radio complete with docking for your iPod. Made with aluminium and real walnut veneer, this contemporary reinterpretation of classic European table radio is packed with the latest multi-platform digital radio technology providing coverage of DAB, DAB+, FM and Wi-Fi internet radio – as well as wireless audio streaming from your Mac and, of course, an iPod dock.

The Heritage is the latestproduct I've been drooling over from the fine folks at UK's Revo, an approved Apple ‘Made for iPod’ member.

Very nice!

KVMC

Nice signage! If you're like me, and you simply can't get enough of the genius ingenuity of custom, one of a kind signs like this giant KVMC microphone from Colorado City, Texas, then you'll really dig Debra Jane's huge and ever growning flickr set: Roadside Signs & Archetecture.

Magno Wooden Radios

These are currently on backorder and there's a waiting list but man, these are soooo sweet looking!

Singgih Kartono chooses wood for his radios not just based on aesthetics but on his appreciation of wood's simplicity and organic vitality. The Magno radio combines the most current mp3 player compatible electronics with sustainably grown woods.

Much as I dig the visible tuning mechanism, I think I'm gonna go for the small one with all the nice little holes...

See for yourself: Magno Wooden Radios.
