]]WEGA (pronounced "Vega") is a brand name of consumer electronics that was originally created and used by Wega Radio GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany. After being acquired by Sony Corporation, the Japanese manufacturer adopted the WEGA name globally for a series of televisions from 1997 until 2005. The quality of the design by Esslinger was highly appreciated, to the extent that the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibits one example, the Concept 51k sound system from 1976, for which a special stand was an available option.
