Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Natural Speaker is Made Entirely Out of Porcelain and Wood

— May 19, 2011 — Art & Design
Korean designers Joon&Jung have created a speaker made entirely out of wood and porcelain. The aptly named Natural Speaker has a unique look and is designed to produce natural-sounding sound.

Music heard through conventional speakers and earphones sounds good, but the sound isn't natural. The Natural Speaker is designed to produce a slight echo with its sounds, which as the designers describe, makes it seem like you are sitting next to someone playing an acoustic instrument.

If you truly enjoy the sound of music and not just the lyrics or the thump of bass, then you should definitely check out the Natural Speaker. The video here gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this speaker along with a demo of how music played from it sounds.
Trend Themes
1. Wooden Speakers - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the audio industry by creating speakers made entirely out of wood for a unique and natural sound.
2. Porcelain Speakers - Disruptive innovation opportunity to design speakers made primarily from porcelain for an aesthetically pleasing and natural audio experience.
3. Natural Sounding Speakers - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the audio industry by creating speakers that produce natural-sounding sound through unique design and echo effect.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment Manufacturing - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the audio equipment manufacturing industry by incorporating sustainable materials like wood and porcelain for unique speaker designs.
2. Home Decor - Disruptive innovation opportunity to introduce porcelain and wood speakers as part of home decor offerings for a seamless blend of aesthetics and audio technology.
3. Musical Instruments - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the musical instrument industry by creating speakers that mimic the experience of listening to live acoustic instruments through design and sound effects.
