Ayatori stool designed by Julyerna Koesmono. Friday, 26 March 2010
It's getting so hard to find anything that isn't made of plastic anymore. Finding anything that is original or even handmade is getting to be darn near impossible too. The Eco Trend has reached also traditional electronics, but not only in the “energy saving” way. Magno radios, designed by Singgih Kartono, are produced in areas with high unemployment and are made of sustainable harvested wood, supporting Indonesian Craftspeople. Available in three sizes, the radio plays not only the familiar two shortwave bands, but is also MP3 player compatible.

Designer Singgih Kartono wanted to manufacture a product that was both sustainable and socially beneficial and I think he has more than succeeded. The radios come in three sizes and have the most current mp3 player compatible electronics and AM/FM and shortwave radio bands.

If you get a Magno Wooden Radio, not only will you be helping out people and the planet, you will have something of actual value that is genuinely handcrafted and uniquely original. That is definitely cool.
