Big Band(width) Week
Again, I'm up a bit late, so I'll make it quick:
www.minipod.com — Music related, but not music. The minipod is a speaker, very organic looking, like a mutant electric shellfish. Then site leaves me wondering about the future. Will there be bunches of small design companies all with these flash-heavy web sites? The company is Blueroom Loudspeakers, Ltd., a small company heavy on philosophy and manifesto. The site reads more like a small software firm. Packaging is 'totally reusable and useful every day.' They might be right, the packaging is a travel case. But a set of speakers costs £269. Yes, they are British, but the speakers are painted in Denmark. Apparently they make other stuff, but this one product has its own website. Reading between the lines, some of the staff seems to have been involved with the UK Rave scene. Very odd looking site navigation, but very nice looking speakers.
