Every other person has some sort of iPod or smartphone to hold his music, but who can boast owning anything like the Cube Media System, with its unique way of browsing your audio library? Designed by Richard Clarkson in collaboration with Anke Stohlmann, this playful gadget offers a very original experience and a much more tactile one than you'd be used to.
The set comes with two cubes: a large one and a small one. The former houses the sound system and the latter acts as the remote. You can sync the devices with your Spotify account, or another cloud-based platform. Once every component is in communication, you can easily chose songs and switch playlists with the Cube Media System with gestures like rolling the dice-like controller. The electronics will glow different colors according to the genre playing.
