About Danish Fuel Преносима тонколона

Danish Fuel е преносима тонколона, изградена в рециклирана метална туба за гориво от Втората световна война. Старата ръжда и боя се отстраняват чрез термична обработка в пещ и пясъкоструене, след което тубата се покрива с прахово покритие в зелен сатенен завършек. Предният панел е изработен от формован шперплат с горен слой от опушен дъб. Контролната плоча, крачетата и маркировъчните плочки са от анодизиран алуминий. Тонколоната включва басов високоговорител, високочестотен говорител и усилвател клас D. Звукът се възпроизвежда чрез Bluetooth или помощен кабел, а захранването идва от батерия или електрическата мрежа. Всяка бройка носи уникален идентификационен номер.

There was a gab in the market and we could not find any sustainable solution. A real craftman ship. Most speakers a bulk manufactured in thousand of numbers. To find a speaker that was beyond tech but a sculpture and piece of art did not excist.
Inspiration: The jerry can be designed back in 1937, to contain supplies for the armies. The allies nicknamed the Germans, Jerries, as slang for German. As the small Einheits-kanister was a German invention - thereby the name a jerry can. The allies duplicated the design and just before D-day in 1944 more than 21 million of Jerry cans were made. "Without these cans, it would have been impossible for our armies to cut their way across France at a lightning pace during the German blitz”. - President Roosevelt
