An iconic “Volans 2” 17-inch television by Brionvega, representing one of the most distinctive expressions of Italian radical industrial design from the 1970s. Characterized by its sculptural silhouette, smoked acrylic screen surround, and integrated pedestal base, the television reflects Brionvega’s celebrated approach to merging advanced technology with avant-garde aesthetics. The softly curved white casing is contrasted by a dramatic dark front panel that frames the cathode-ray screen while incorporating an integrated speaker grille and a geometric control interface. The arrangement of circular perforations, tactile push-buttons, and recessed rotary controls creates a highly architectural composition typical of Brionvega’s futuristic visual language. Mounted on a rotating circular base and fitted with telescopic antennae, the model demonstrates the brand’s ambition to transform domestic electronics into sophisticated modern furnishings. The “Volans 2” embodies the optimistic spirit of postwar Italian design, where functionality, experimentation, and sculptural form converged into objects intended as much for display as for everyday use. Today, Brionvega televisions are regarded as highly collectible examples of 20th-century design and are included in important private and museum collections worldwide. In good vintage condition and fully working, with age-related wear and surface marks consistent with use. Light scratches visible to the smoked acrylic front and rear casing. Minor discoloration and wear to edges and base. Working condition. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
