Donut-Shaped Wireless Speakers

The Orbit Speaker Concept has a Playful Structure and 360 Sound

— May 20, 2024 — Lifestyle
Fran Rossi and Javier Bianchi designed the Orbit speaker concept. This is a donut-shaped wireless speaker that connects using Bluetooth technology. It is defined by its playful shape, taking on the form of a sweet treat. It delivers sound from various angles to cover the entire room.

Additionally, this function also aids a more efficient voice command response as it can come from anywhere in the area. The playful concept is continued by the color choices and materials. It has a bright orange finish with a white base for a vibrant and contrasting finish. There are also reflective plastic accents instead of fabric. When the speaker is standing, it can bounce sound off of the ceiling.
