Linnet & Laursen

Linnet & Laursen was a Danish electronics manufacturer that specialized in radio and television sets. The company produced models like the Capella, Apollo, and Kardinal series, which featured advanced capabilities for their time.

The company was founded in 1946 by Harald Linnet and Valdemar Hofman Laursen and began production in Valby. It later moved to a larger factory in Rødovre around 1960 to meet growing demand for electronic devices.

The company played a role in shaping how Danish families enjoyed entertainment at home during the post-war recovery. Its products reflected the optimism and technological progress that people experienced during this period.

The company's devices can be viewed today at the Radio History Museum in Ringsted, where visitors can see authentic examples of their work. The museum shows how these electronics functioned and what role they played in everyday life.

A highlight from the product range was the Capella TV595-17 from 1959 with its 17-inch screen and glass protection. This model showed how innovative Danish engineers were in television production.
