Toaster Speaker Systems

The TOAST! Speaker Dock Won't Burn Your iPhone

Most iDevice docks clash with the kitchen, but the TOAST! speaker dock would blend right in since it is designed in the shape of a retro stainless steel toaster and pumps out tunes the same way real toasters pop out brown bread.

The TOAST! speaker dock has a three watt speaker and is powered by a Lithium-Ion battery. Volume is controlled by the nob in the front and with the plunger on the side appearing to be a decorative addition. Since iDevice docks are all-too-common nowadays, designers are having to find new ways to separate their work from the pack. The TOAST! speaker dock is a great example of a company thinking outside the box in order to attract consumers.
