Brionvega is an electronics company founded in Milan, Italy by Giuseppe and Rina Brion in 1945. At its beginning, the company manufactured radios and later moved into manufacturing televisions. Design aesthetics did not play a major role in the company’s products until the early 1960s, when designers such as Mario Bellini, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Richard Sapper, and Marco Zanuso became involved with Brionvega.
