About Danish Fuel Prijenosni zvučnik

Danish Fuel je prijenosni zvučnik ugrađen u obnovljeni metalni kanistar iz Drugog svjetskog rata. Stara hrđa i boja uklanjaju se toplinskom obradom u peći i pjeskarenjem, a kanistar se zatim praškasto lakira u zelenoj satenskoj završnoj obradi. Prednja ploča izrađena je od oblikovane šperploče s gornjim slojem od dimljenog hrasta. Upravljačka ploča, nožice i označne pločice izrađene su od eloksiranog aluminija. Zvučnik sadrži niskotonac, visokotonac i pojačalo klase D. Zvuk se reproducira putem Bluetootha ili pomoćnog kabela, a napajanje dolazi iz baterije ili električne mreže. Svaki primjerak nosi jedinstveni identifikacijski broj.

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
