About Dandelion Seed Sprekerlamp

Book Text: Dandelion Seed is een luidspreker met geïntegreerd licht. Het ontwerp is gebaseerd op respect voor planten als levende wezens. De vorm verwijst naar drie fasen in het leven van een paardenbloem: zaad, groei en vergankelijkheid. Een holle glazen bol wordt vervaardigd door middel van glasblazen en bevat batterijen en LED-lampjes. Magnetische veldtechnologie geeft de bol het gevoel alsof deze boven de basis zweeft. Het geluid verspreidt zich in 360 graden en er kan een apparaat via Bluetooth worden verbonden. De muziek die door de luidspreker wordt afgespeeld, symboliseert het stille geluid van de plant. Het zachte licht is bedoeld om mensen te helpen ontspannen.
