Arco Radio
This is a radio. It is dated 1985–90 and we acquired it in 2008. Its medium is molded plastic, metal. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This arc-shaped radio, with a central rectangular panel that flips back to reveal control buttons, is aesthetically pleasing and speak to an interest in materials and use of geometric forms popular in the mid-1980s.
The museum actively collects in the area of personal electronic devices. This radio is part of a group of electronics from the 1980s and 1990s proposed for acquisition that would augment the collection’s consumer product design category from this era.
