I've found this small & beauty russian start-up on boomstarter.ru:
 
'Wolna' (means 'wave' in english) Internet Radio is a simple wireless wi-fi radio point device. It works without any operating system like a good old classic kitchen radio. Zero loading time, just power it up (220v), select a radio station by rotating a knob and listen. All radio stations are stored on-board in memory and can be updated via internet. Limited edition, natural wood (oak) cabinet, full-range speaker. More features (f.e. weather report, alarm clock etc.) can be added by developers during software update.

Price ~$89. Pre-order, expect to ship in May'17.
 
Have ordered one. Good idea and nice design! Will see.

Ok, got it today! Very nice radiopoint! It has many programs on board and some settings (time, display brightness, equalizer, favorite list of radiostation, on-line update function. You need just wi-fi around and 5 volt Power source (it is usb povered). So, you can run it everywhere: in your kitchen, in your car, in your garden etc. All settings are made by 'OK', 'НАЗАД (back)' and 'НАСТРОЙКА (select)' buttons and stored in memory. Button 'ГРОМКОСТЬ' (volume) power it on and off. Natural wood cabinet and stereo 3,5mm output socket (to earphones or stereo system - see video #2).

No, but menue is very simple.
You can ask it here: https://vk.com/wolna_wifi
Videos and photos taked today by me :)

Is a shame there is not English menu, no info about what's playing, artist and song information and bit rate, and is only limited to MP3 up to 320kbps. Could sell well internationally.
