‘Speakerboss’ is a series of fourteen papercraft speakers made in the colors of the rainbow by Sjors Trimbach in honor of a good friend of Trimbach’s who was diagnosed with cancer. There are two sets of seven speakers; Trimbach gave the first set to his friends and has put the second seven up for sale, with all proceeds to go to the Dutch Cancer Society.
The ‘Speakerboss’ papercraft speakers spell out Sjors Trimbach’s friend’s motto, "Catch the rainbow." Another friend of Trimbach’s, Matt Joyce, printed tee shirts to coordinate with the ‘Speakerboss’ speakers. Both the speakers and the tee shirts are available at Sjors Trimbach’s website below.
