The Design

About Dandelion Seed Høyttalerlampe

Løvetannfrø er en høyttaler med integrert lys. Designet er basert på respekt for planter som levende vesener. Formen refererer til tre stadier i løvetannens livssyklus: frø, vekst og død. En hul glasskule er laget ved glassblåsing og rommer batterier og LED-lys. Magnetfeltteknologi gir kulen en følelse av å sveve over basen. Lyden spres i 360 grader, og en enhet kan kobles til via Bluetooth. Musikken som spilles av høyttaleren fremstår som et symbol på plantens stille lyd. Det myke lyset er ment å hjelpe mennesker med å slappe av.
