The best retro interior design ideas from LEGO

Radio used to be ubiquitous.

For decades it was the best and only way to listen to the latest music and almost everyone had a radio somewhere in their home.

That's all changed now, of course, but it's nice to think back to those simpler, carefree days when DJs gave you the latest hits and changing the station meant searching for the perfect connection in a world of noise .

Now you can relive the glory days of radio with the LEGO® Icons Retro radio set. It is a decorative replica of a vintage radio, complete with a folding handle, an antenna and a frequency scale with sliding pointer.

Thanks to a smart sound brick, you can turn the classic power button and tuning knob to hear signals and music samples. And if you want to take it a step further, you can place a smartphone in the back and enjoy your favorite songs as if they were being played by your local radio station. With 906 parts, the LEGO Icons Retro radio set guarantees a fun, relaxing building experience while listening to your favorite records. And when you're done, the finished set measures approx. 32cm high, 23cm wide and 7cm deep, so you can place it anywhere in your home.

Whether you are a music lover yourself or are looking for a gift for an audiophile who has everything, the LEGO Icons Retro radio is coming to you this summer.

Relive the past with these sets

Of course, radios were about more than just music. They were an integral part of everyone's lives and were known as much for how they looked as for how they sounded. And now that you can bring the LEGO Icons Retro radio into your home, we thought it would be a good idea to list a few of our greatest (retro) hits, for everyone who likes to think back to times gone by.

Stay away from that dial!
