BRIONVEGA, specialized in the manufacturing of TV sets, was founded in Milan in 1945 by Giuseppe Brion and his friend engineer Pajetta. Thanks to the care for details and a leading-edge design, Brionvega products have become cult objects and are exhibited in the best museums in the world.
With the 'television 12 black st 201', Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper reduced the spacial requirements of the television set in 1969.
The completely closed artificial glass cube re-minds one, when turned off, of a magical stone, translated into this age of modern technology. Its appearance provokes a certain irritation, since on the one hand the mysterious control elements on top signify the technical use of the object, on the other hand, the normal product association does not occur, as the screen is hidden behind one of the black sides of the cube.
The picture tube can only be seen when the set is turned on. "The function of the television set begins when it is required“. The designers followed the idea of 'black' as a totem, as a metaphor for our modern world of media. The smooth surfaces are meant to reflect the out-side world. Shortly before he died, the company founder, Giuseppe Brion, saw the prototype of 'black' and was, as Marco Zanuso recalls, enthusiastic.
