I think the idea of nature meeting technology is great. . . wood gadgets, you name it, I'm all for it. However, when I came across this "Bamboo" stereo system on Yanko Design, I couldn't help but ask the what's and why's surrounding this product's inception. Picture a real bamboo stick, its make-up, its sound and try imagining its base features integrated into a stereo system. And in comes the cylindrical "pink" Bamboo stereo. . .
This concept design stereo, which has been designed by Soohyuk Im, is through and through high-tech boasting WiFi capability, wireless speakers, an integrated LED screen, remote desktop syncing, a radio and a cd player. The stereo can be used without the connected side speakers or taken apart to have two wireless speakers. It'll be interesting to see if this concept idea ever takes off.
I love seeing new stuff like this come out. Similar to the AirTunes that Apple offers. Definitely keeping my eye open on this one.
this is the kind of stuff that really makes me think industrial designers are just crazy. they just draw and are like "this looks cool". it always happens. and in the end, it ends up looking cool. and that is it.
like it is SO cool. but it's not going to happen anytime soon. it's too advanced. a neat idea, but it just seems like too much too soon.
