Eames Studio: Emerson Model 588A Tube Radio































This classic Emerson Model 588A tube radio was designed in 1946, by Herman Miller furniture designer Charles Eames and his wife Ray. There was a "Wall Street Journal" article written by reporter James Gaddy in May 2015 titled "Design's Best Kept Secret." The article is about Charles and Ray Eames and their use of molded plywood to form beautiful cases for their radio designs. This model is the larger version of the 578A Emerson of the same year. The two are identical except for size. This set has been completely restored electronically. Measurements:  Length: 11-Inches; Depth: 5-Inches; Height: 6-inches.
