Abstract

Abstract From the mid-1920s onward, radio, which in its early days had still been experimental in many respects, became a companion of everyday life. The professionalization of program content was accompanied by a change in the appearance of the radio itself: simple receivers with headphones were replaced by elegant radio furniture with a modernist touch meant to blend in with contemporary home design. The interior magazine Innendekoration, published by Alexander Koch in Darmstadt, commented on the integration of the Zeitgeist medium radio into the private interior in a number of essays that present radio as a technological interface between the private and the public sphere, individuation and the masses, location and the dissolution of boundaries.
