About Dandelion Seed Lampu Speaker

Dandelion Seed adalah sebuah speaker dengan lampu terintegrasi. Desainnya berlandaskan pada rasa hormat terhadap tumbuhan sebagai makhluk hidup. Bentuknya merujuk pada tiga tahap kehidupan bunga dandelion: biji, tumbuh, dan mati. Bola kaca berongga dibuat dengan teknik tiup kaca dan menampung baterai serta lampu LED. Teknologi medan magnet memberikan kesan bola tersebut melayang di atas dasarnya. Suara tersebar dalam 360 derajat, dan perangkat dapat dihubungkan melalui Bluetooth. Musik yang dimainkan oleh speaker ini dihadirkan sebagai simbol dari suara hening sang tumbuhan. Cahaya lembutnya dimaksudkan untuk membantu orang merasa rileks.
