The 'Torso' speaker has been designed by Yang Dong Wook as a Greco-Roman-inspired technology solution for the modern home that would provide users with an artistic way to enjoy their favorite music and more.
The unit features a bust-like design that calls to mind Michelangelo's bust of David and is thus an artistic piece that's meant to be placed on display. The speaker was created as part of the Samsung Design Membership Program and also features slightly slanted angles that really reinforce the sculptural aesthetic of the unit.
The 'Torso' speaker is further enhanced with a neck portion that acts as a vase for placing fresh flowers to give it an additional function in a living space.
