The ST 201 was a Zanuso/Sapper design made with semi-transparent black acrylic, metal. It came with an ochre felt cover, cream plastic protection, carrying cover and two detachable aerials (References: The New Domestic Landscape Achievements and Problems of Italian Design, The Museum of Modern Art, exhibition catalogue, New York/Florence, 1972, p. 69; Kathryn B. Hiesinger, Design since 1945, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, exhibition catalogue, 1983, p. 96, 1- 54; Alfonso Grassi, Anty Pansera, Atlante del Design Italiano 1940/1980, Milano, 1984, p. 118, ill. no. 2In 1992). It is now a collector's item and it occasionally pops up at auctions.
The Brionvega Cuboglass TV was designed by Mario Bellini based on a re-work of the ST 201 from 1969.
In collaboration with Brionvega, Bellini has made a completely new TV. The Cuboglass' effect is achieved by the perfect crafting. It quickly became a classic, and is on permanent display at New York Museum of Modern Art.
In 1992, when the Cuboglass was introduced, it featured the then-latest electronics, and it has been gradually updated since. It is now housed in an anti-scratch cabinet made of crystal glass faces connected by slim perforated metal plates, and the faceted cut is absolutely sheer. Inside, it features a black matrix tube for an impressive picture, a broadband loudspeaker, digital frequency synthesiser, cable tuner and 100 storable programmes, SVHS, and SCART. It measures 38.2 cm x 34.4 cm x 38.5 cm and weighs 19 kg, so it is not exactly portable, though intended to be. It retails for about 1000 euro or $1200 but is mostly sold out.
