THE STORY. The story of Tesla radios is an exciting journey through twentieth-century engineering and design, a fascinating chapter in the history of radio technology. Founded in 1921 as ELEKTRA in Czechoslovakia, and renamed TESLA in 1946, the company became an emblem of innovation and technological progress. The association with the name of Nikola Tesla, the visionary Serbian engineer, gives these radios a unique allure, combining the prestige of a pioneer of electromagnetism with the art of radio production. Tesla, known for his fundamental contributions to alternating current and his eccentric personality, thus becomes the symbol of a legacy that transcends science and enters the realm of culture and the collective imagination. Tesla radios, with their Art Deco style and reliability, have earned a prominent place not only in homes but also in museums around the world, testifying to the historical and cultural importance of these devices. The Talisman 308U radio, in particular, became a design icon, beloved for its aesthetics and its ability to connect people through radio waves. This story isn't just that of a company or a product, but of a symbol that has given voice to entire generations and continues to be celebrated in museums worldwide as a representative of an era of extraordinary innovation and cultural change. Tesla radios represent a bridge between the past and the present, uniting technology, art, and history in a single, captivating tale.
