Lexon LA 42 | Tykho Radio | Yellow                             

The Tykho Radio by now is a design icon and a great example that form and functionality can work harmoniously together. It is entirely encased in a yellow silicone cover. It is splashproof allowing you to use it in the shower, by the pool, in the kitchen or as outdoor radio, even at the beach. The rotating antenna doubles as station tuner for frequency search. From the Lexon Design range the Tykho radio has won the most awards. It is part of the New York MoMa permanent collection and chosen by the Pompidou Centre Paris as one of only 2 objects which signify the 1985 – 2000 period.
