About Danish Fuel Kaasaskantav kõlar

Danish Fuel on kaasaskantav kõlar, mis on ehitatud taaskasutatud Teise maailmasõja aegse metallist kütusekanistri sisse. Vana rooste ja värv eemaldatakse ahjutöötluse ja liivapritsiga ning seejärel kaetakse kanister rohelise satiinviimistlusega pulbervärviga. Esipaneel on valmistatud vormitud vineerist, mille pealiskiht on suitsutatud tammest. Juhtplaat, jalad ja markeerimisplaadid on anodeeritud alumiiniumist. Kõlar sisaldab bassikõlarit, kõrgsageduskõlarit ja D-klassi võimendit. Heli esitatakse Bluetoothi või AUX-kaabli kaudu ning toide tuleb akust või vooluvõrgust. Igal tootel on unikaalne identifitseerimisnumber.

Design Challenge

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
