The designer of the Royal College of Art creates speakers 0.5 mm thick
Advancing what could be the future speaker, the industrial designer Hannes Harms has created an incredible boombox less than an inch thick. Yes, you read that right, a speaker virtually flat with a beautiful design, in which electric and acoustic components are integrated into ... a perforated stainless steel sheet of 0.5 mm thick.
The designer of the Royal College of Art and want to achieve more sustainable manufacturing processes, reducing the volume and size of the materials used. Also allows for storage and shipping much more efficient, because the chassis is mounted in one plane and then the user can fold it pre-marked lines to mount the base of support. Come on, as I see the same thing Ikea wants to make your next sound system.
Hannes's team uses an innovative speaker system plastic film instead of the typical cone speaker. Now what remains to be seen, or rather hear, is if you get a quality audio at least decent, because although we know that there is a hi-fi, yes that should sound well enough to be worth your purchase. If we did not miss a piece of design as beautiful as useless.
The speaker, with a touch pad built into the base of the chassis, is under development. Hopefully it goes on sale because that design and especially the reduced thickness has a very interesting painting.
