PRESS RELEASE
ROBERTS’ much-loved Revival portable radio came to life over 60 years ago. Its highly recognisable retro design, inspired by a handbag, is beautiful and today is widely regarded as a desirably iconic object.
Roberts treasures and protects this model whilst appreciating the need to keep it current, not just in terms of technology, but also refreshing the design.
A Flair for Design
When it comes to design, there are no rules, imaginations run free and boundaries are there to be expanded. The Revival has been released in many new colours over the years, with Roberts keeping a keen eye on fashion and interior trends. Collaborations with renowned British designers, such as Paul Smith and Cath Kidston, have also added a magical touch.
And it’s not just all been in leather-cloth, the handcrafted wooden cabinet has been dressed in high gloss paint, stainless steel and oil cloth which demonstrates its versatility.
Bright and Bold
Neutral hues such as Pastel Cream, Duck Egg, Leaf and Grey remain in the collection, but this summer sees a bright and bold injection of colour.
New vibrant Fuchsia Pink and Cobalt Blue make the Revival louder than ever in terms of both sound and vision. These colours are beautifully bold and if you want to make a statement in your home, these colours will do it.
When you tune in the sound is superb too, Roberts is passionate about sound quality and the Revival delivers this with its acoustically tuned cabinet.
The Joy of DAB
Roberts was the first audio brand to introduce the joy of DAB listening to the UK. The Revival offers DAB and FM, so for those yet to have a DAB signal they can use FM in the meantime.
Your favourite station is at your fingertips, by simply scrolling by name and even better there are far more radio stations on DAB than FM, so you have much more choice.
With 120 hours battery life, this radio is easily portable so you can take your music outside this summer.
The Revival Bold Collection also includes Sunburst Orange and Red and joins Revival Classic and Revival Pastels. Whatever colour your heart desires, there’s a Revival for you.
