To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Radiofonografo RR-226, Brionvega has collaborated with renowned designer Mario Bellini to reissue this timeless classic. The one-piece radiogram, originally designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, is now available in a limited edition of 60 units, each numbered and signed by Elena Salmistraro.
The Radiofonografo RR-226 is a versatile piece that can be reconfigured to fit different room sizes or party types. The new edition introduces a soft green and tobacco finish, with a matte black aluminium base and smoked turntable cover. Despite its retro design, the radiogram is packed with features, including AM/FM radio, 125W + 125W output, RCA connectors, and a headphone jack. However, it does not include digital streaming solutions.
Brionvega continues to handmake its products in Italy, ensuring the highest quality and craftsmanship.

The Radiofonografo has been recognised as a design classic, featured in prestigious institutions such as MoMA NY and Milan's Triennale Design Museum. Its allure has attracted famous owners like David Bowie, who admired its physical presence and sound.
The reissue of the Radiofonografo RR-226 marks a significant milestone in Brionvega's history. With its unique design, high-quality craftsmanship, and impressive features, this limited edition radiogram is set to become a cherished addition to any audiophile's collection.
