The Design

About Dandelion Seed Högtalarlampa

Dandelion Seed är en högtalare med integrerat ljus. Designen bygger på respekt för växter som levande varelser. Formen syftar på tre stadier i ett maskrosfrös liv: frö, växande och död. En ihålig glaskula tillverkas genom glasblåsning och rymmer batterier och LED-lampor. Magnetfältsteknik ger kulan en känsla av att sväva ovanför basen. Ljudet sprids i 360 grader, och en enhet kan anslutas via Bluetooth. Musiken som spelas av högtalaren framställs som en symbol för växtens tysta ljud. Det mjuka ljuset är avsett att hjälpa människor att slappna av.
