The Amplamp

— November 26, 2008 — Tech
The Amplamp is a handcrafted lamp and speaker combo, handcrafted by British designer Dominic Bromley.

The lamp's shades come in different hues of beige and its base come in either black or white.

The speaker/lamp features an on-board amplifier (80 watts including sub woofer), spatial stereo, NXT and Airsound technologies and the option of a docking station for your iPod.

Implications - Combining two pieces of technology into one product is a way for companies to expand their horizons. As society embraces a minimalist and simplistic style, having less is more, which can be translated into having fewer products that provide more functions. By incorporating multiple products into one, companies are offering consumers convenience, practicality and function.

1. Tech-decor Combo - The trend towards combining technology and home decor presents opportunities to disrupt both industries by offering practicality and style.

3. Spatial Audio Technology - The rise of spatial audio technologies such as NXT and Airsound present opportunities to transform the way consumers experience home entertainment and music.
