That’s why you see so many people with a smartphone on their arm and a pair of earphones dangling across their chest.

The $1800 speaker that’s made out of concrete

By Geoffrey Tim
April 19, 2017 - 8 years ago

“This speaker is not about the traditional idea of making boxes, but about a directional form. I became fascinated with the idea of using triangles to break down the mass of the box, and to see if we could dissolve the sense of volume through sculptural detail. We created a new geometry for this speaker. A new geometry of sound.”
