Industrial designer Michael Young created this portable vintage speaker based on a 1960 handheld radio design by Italian electronics company Brionvega.
Young patterned with Brionvega for this release that sees the company's 'TS 207' radio to create his very own more modern day interpretation. The 'Bionvega WearIt' speaker is made to be portable and syncs together with audio devices like laptops and phones. The speaker features a pressed aluminium body with a minimal interface and detachable handle for easy carrying from place to place. The portable vintage speaker also comes with a leather shoulder bag, a hole-punched cover and is available in a number of different colors.
Young sates that this design was meant to be more high-end then other inferior products "in the audio trash market" that focus on a more low-cost design.
