Tivoli Audio is an American manufacturing company producing tabletop radios and similar audio products. It was founded in 2000[1] by Tom DeVesto with the help of Henry Kloss.[2]
History
The company was founded in Massachusetts in 2000 by audio engineer, Henry Kloss, and entrepreneur Tom DeVesto. Their first product, the Model One, was designed to receive FM radio signals in congested urban locations and distant or low-power stations as Kloss noted that the mid-60s wave of Japanese radios struggled to do this. Kloss died in 2002, but the company continued to operate. By 2006, Tivoli Audio was selling products in over 30 countries. As of 2015 Paul De Pasquale is Chief Executive Officer[3] and Designer. The company has had partnerships with Ritz Carlton, Marriott Hotels, and Ace Hotels. The company also partnered with Supreme in 2018 with a limited-edition model.
In 2016, Tivoli Audio launched the ART wireless collection with features such as wi-fi streaming and Spotify Connect. As of 2019,[4] Tivoli Audio opened a flagship showroom and shop on Boston's Newbury Street.
Products
After the Model One, the next decade saw several new releases, such as the PAL (Portable Audio Laboratory), Model Three (Alarm Clock Radio), and the All-In-One Music System. This range of products was sold in Scandinavian DAB+ countries such as Denmark and Norway following the PAL+ in 2011. In 2016, Tivoli Audio released the ART Collection.
Tivoli has collaborated with brands like Coach, Cappellini, Anthropologie, NPR, and Supreme to produce collections.
