This slideshow of sound wave sculptures shows just how influential the perception of sound is on design. Whether it's through personalized waveform jewelry made from a recording of your voice or tables whose shape was informed by the sounds captured in Cairo, it's clear that sound waves are far more pervasive than you might think.
Implications - My personal favorite of these sound wave sculptures has got to be the sound wave paintings, which result in some spectacular images. Still, if that doesn't tickle your fancy, you can always get yourself some sound-inspired accessories or even some sound wave lighting.
Check out these sound wave sculptures and more in our list.
