London, UK, 13th October 2010: PURE, the world-leading radio maker, presents EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely, a custom designed luxurious digital and FM portable radio featuring Orla Kiely’s signature stem print.

An internationally renowned fashion designer, Orla Kiely has applied her instinctive love of pattern, colour and texture to PURE’s iconic EVOKE Mio digital radio and dressed it with her signature stem print. The EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely (SRP £149.99) is finished with a mirror chromed handbag style handle, walnut veneered cabinet, cream fascia and a stylish leather tag to complete the look.

Says Orla Kiely: “I love to create quality and functional down-to-earth designs that integrate colour, pattern, texture, graphic control and rhythm that continually work and rework together. Radio is also a passion and PURE’s EVOKE Mio was the ideal product to apply my signature stem design to, as it is both practical and a thing of beauty that will complement any home interior design and sits perfectly within my homeware range.”      

Based on the multi award-winning and iconic EVOKE-1S, EVOKE Mio by Orla Kiely is packed with features including digital and FM radio and an input for an iPod/ MP3 player. The radio can also be taken out and about thanks to support for the optional ChargePAK, which gives the user up to 24 hours of portable listening between charges. Other features include an OLED (Organic LED) display which is crystal-clear from any angle and has both manual and automatic brightness controls; textSCAN™ and Intellitext® for pausing and controlling scrolling text and storing information for browsing at a later date; an alarm, kitchen timer and 30 presets.

About Orla Kiely
The creative world of Orla Kiely was founded in 1995 to express visually, her love of pattern, colour, texture and rhythm, which as components all play and work together. Her instinctive graphic discipline to simplify and stylise everyday motifs and forms adds another dimension. With clean orderly repeat constructions and a boldness of scale, her work achieves a strength with a very modern quality, while her nostalgia for all things mid-century appear to make her patterns comforting and uplifting. From a small collection of bags and accessories the range has grown to include a complete ready-to-wear collection, homeware, travel and stationery.
