In love with Isamu Noguchi's 1938 "Radio Nanny" in a completely inexplicable way. It is obviously a striking example of Art Deco - shots of Metropolis immediately come to mind. "Radio Nanny was the first invention for remote monitoring of children. The tragic kidnapping of the 20-month-old son of the famous pilot Charles Lindbergh in 1932 led to its creation. The device was produced by Zenith (the Apple of the 1930s), a company that produced designer appliances that people wanted to decorate their homes with. A microphone the size of a good speaker was connected to a head-shaped bakelite speaker with a wire. "Radio Nanny" by Isamu Noguchi is included in the collections of the Metropolitan and MoMA museums, and in 2008 its price at auction reached $22,800. It's even surprising that it has not yet been reissued as a speaker. Just imagine how spectacular Siri or music would have sounded from it. More photos and one interesting fact in the comments
