JB/N Kuntzel+Deygas Acoustic Sculpture Is a Usable Speaker

— August 4, 2009 — Pop Culture
To launch the Colette Soundshop, the Parisian retailer featured this Kuntzel+Deygas acoustic sculpture.

Titled JB/N, the Kuntzel+Deygas acoustic sculpture is made entirely out of wood.

Not just a display item, the JB/N Kuntzel+Deygas acoustic sculpture is actually usable as a high fidelity speaker. The funky looking JB/N Kuntzel+Deygas acoustic sculpture will be on display until the end of August.

Implications - Speakers are basic items that many people have inside their homes. Having an enormous statue as a speaker is something that an art lover may enjoy because it is so unique. If you can make your product's form look exciting and one-of-a-kind, your consumer base may buy out of want instead of just necessity.
Trend Themes
1. Art-inspired Speakers - Creating speakers that double as art pieces can appeal to consumers who value unique and aesthetically pleasing design.
2. Functional Sculptures - Blurring the line between art and functionality, sculptures that also serve as high fidelity speakers offer a disruptive innovation opportunity.
3. Unique Audio Experiences - Offering consumers a one-of-a-kind audio experience through unconventional speaker designs can spark interest and drive sales.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industry can explore opportunities in creating innovative speakers that bridge the gap between art and technology.
2. Home Decor - The home decor industry can tap into the trend of functional sculptures by incorporating high fidelity speakers into unique home decor pieces.
3. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can capitalize on the demand for unique audio experiences by designing and marketing unconventional speaker products.
