Looking for a set of unique speakers or a cool new way to listen to music? This literal interpretation by Michael Harper depicts different genres of music as city buildings, which also serve as speakers. This triple-threat design feat known as BeatCity is both playful and thoughtful. From a high rise apartment building for elevator music, to a blue shed-inspired structure for garage music and even a church for gospel tunes, there is a wide variety of genres being represented. The designer hopes to have a number of build-it-yourself speakers so one can enjoy his or her favorite types of music, providing a more personalized experience.
This multifaceted DIY product works in a number of ways. BeatCity works as a puzzle for little kids, a docking station for your home, artwork for your collection or even a gift for a friend.
