Objects of Design #175: Digital Radio Mirror

Most of us don’t have large bathrooms and everything that’s in there has to justify its postion and earn its keep. This, then is a good idea. A mirror that is also a digital radio. Good idea isn’t it?

It has both DAB and FM radio as well as a digital clock and inputs for SD memory card, USB and 3.5mm line.

The speakers are integrated, the controls are touch sensitive and the aerial folds down. Oh, and in case that’s not enough, there’s a heated demister pad too.

It’s from John Lewis and it costs £399, which, given the cost of mirrors and radios, and not to mention all the added demisting and LED gadgetry makes that not a bad price. Although you will have to pay for someone to install it.
