# Innovation and timeless design

Customer: Cassina

The Cassina crystal radio, designed by Franco Albini in 1938 as a prototype model for his home, is a testament to the innovation of its time.

![checkup\_cassina\_block](https://143575071.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hub/143575071/hubfs/case-study/cassina/checkup_cassina_block.jpg?width=1167&name=checkup_cassina_block.jpg)

## Solution

Loved for its great evocative power, the radio features a unique aesthetic and cutting-edge electronics. The essential structure is formed by two extra-tempered glass panels and a matte black lacquered MDF shell. The electronic system, a checkup solution, allows audio playback from various sources (DAB, FM, and Bluetooth) and includes a 7" LCD display with control via knob encoders. Low-latency wireless technology enables pairing with a subwoofer, ensuring a high-quality sound experience.
