Sticksound
Designers Yves Malka and Pierre de Poucques reduced the radio to a white cube with just one control. They dubbed it the Lexon Sticksound.
Move the joy stick left and right to search for radio frequencies, or up and down to control the volume of the built-in speaker. The joystick itself doubles as an antenna. Impressive!

Well that’s just idiotic. What station am I listening to? I have no clue. This is the perfect example of someone taking minimalistic design beyond the realm of functionality to a point where it doesn’t belong.
Frankly, I would have liked to see this operate mechanically as opposed to digitally, i.e. the wand physically rotates to choose a frequency (like an old radio dial) or slides up and down to adjust volume.
Yep, I agree w/ Adam. This one is “simpler than simple”, it not functional.
