About Dandelion Seed Højttalerlampe

Mælkebøttefrø er en højttaler med integreret lys. Designet er baseret på respekt for planter som levende væsener. Formen refererer til tre stadier i en mælkebøttes liv: frø, vækst og død. En hul glaskugle er fremstillet ved glaspustning og indeholder batterier og LED-lys. Magnetfeltteknologi giver kuglen en følelse af at svæve over basen. Lyden spredes i 360 grader, og en enhed kan forbindes via Bluetooth. Musikken, der afspilles af højttaleren, præsenteres som et symbol på plantens stille lyd. Det bløde lys er tiltænkt at hjælpe mennesker med at slappe af.
