Battery-powered Anomalo FM radio resembles robot toy<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare for a battery-powered FM <\/span>radio to appear these days, but Shinkogeisha brings back its golden days with its Anomalo series. The design<\/strong><\/a> studio crafts its <\/span>device<\/a> as if it were a transformable robot toy, signal tower, weathervane, or a combination of all. It is bright and colorful, unlike the traditional FM radios. The Anomalo device has five layers, each serving a specific function. Let\u2019s start at the bottom. Not the circular base, but the first limb from below. It resembles a rocket or a flashlight, and when the user pulls the tab, it reveals the battery\u2019s casing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second limb, the one with a bright yellow grille, is the speaker of the Anomalo FM radio. On its upper left, the third limb, there\u2019s a compass-like dial with numbers imprinted on it. Beside it, a red spinner sits, the control of the dial. These two work together to switch Anomalo FM radio\u2019s frequency. As for the volume of the device, it\u2019s the role of the fourth limb and its red slider. At the top, there\u2019s a blue hat. It holds the body together, and it\u2019s the home to the stowable antenna (yes, the device isn\u2019t wireless, unlike, again, traditional radios). <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a clock that looks like it\u2019s hovering<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shinkogeisha first introduced its Anomalo FM radio in 2024. The design <\/span>studio<\/a> says that it only produces the product based on orders (the delivery usually takes one or two months). The word \u2018Anomalo\u2019 is not just for the radio. It\u2019s a series that focuses on making products using digital tools like 3D printing or laser cutting. The studio\u2019s idea is to steer away from mass-produced technology: copying and producing the same <\/span>device<\/a> in hundreds of quantities. Under Anomalo, the objects are only made when ordered, like the FM radio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The radio isn\u2019t alone in the series. There\u2019s also a clock made of three stacked slabs. Only the first two move: one indicates the hour while the other tells the minutes. They seem to hover in the air as these two slabs are attached to the main stem. It is also battery powered, and its style echoes what Shinkogeisha does with its Anomalo series: giving a modern flair to traditional designs. For the studio, artisans and small-scale creators don\u2019t have to follow the typical image and designs posed and imposed by brands and other high-end products.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

there are four limbs or sections in the radio design<\/p>\n
