Carl Liu designs the new figure EIGHT headphone holder, which is made in a sculpturally artful silhouette made to hold headphones up vertically. It was made to avoid placing down headphones on its side as it is designed to be straight upwards.
It is milled from a single piece of walnut materials that have been collected from North America. After this, the finishing touches are done by hand and it gets the name of the design is due to the two holes in the structure that rests perpendicular to one another. It is essentially two cylinders that are able to hold separate parts of the headphone. The top of the design offers an ark for the headband and the bottom is sideways to hold the ear pieces.
