Radio Nurse
I spotted this object in the
Pinakothek der Moderne
in Munich.
The Radio Nurse was the idea of Charles Lindberg, the pioneering 1920's US aviator and advocate of eugenics commissioned this baby monitor in 1932 after his son was abducted and killed.
A beautiful object formed from ugly necessity.
