About Model One Dab Internettradio
Model One er en DAB internettradio som blander de autentiske materialene med de nye teknologiene. Treskapet er ytterligere utvidet til fronten mens det dekker en firkantet del for å understreke ektheten til trematerialet mer. Både kontrollpanelet og skjermen har matt, antirefleksbehandling for å holde teknologien usynlig og skjult og fremme den reelle materialbruken i produktet. Den trådløse ladingen på toppen hjelper brukeren å opprettholde lange timer med å nyte musikken, mens de lader sine mobile enheter og holder radioen i sentrum av livet igjen.

The feedbacks related to increasing visibility of the "wood feeling" in the front face and charging mobile devices while operating the radio were proved to be essential needs of the target user.
