Panasonic, manufacturer

Manufactured in an array of bright primary colors and unusual forms, these playful pieces were made to appeal to the burgeoning youth market of the 1970s. Inspired by Pop Art design, the Toot-a-Loop radio transformed the boxy transistor radio into a fun accessory. The radio swivels open into an S shape, revealing its tuning dial, and closes into a circle, allowing it to be worn on the wrist or carried.
