TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. has unveiled a new historical landmark-inspired speaker called the TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. Sounds. The speaker is inspired by the Flatiron building, a 285-foot-tall steel-framed landmark building and one of New York's first skyscrapers in 1902. The speaker not only takes inspiration but also takes the Flatiron building in a closely identical appearance. Additionally, designer Takahiro Miyashita was involved in the development of the speaker.
The TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist. Sounds. stands 43 inches tall and follows the iconic Flatiron building in close appearance with eroded cement details around the structure. The speaker has cement grey side panels that materialize in an eroded finish, with the brand logo placed above the base section. The speaker is made in a polycarbonate composite resin structure with aluminum pistons and a NdFeB magnet circuit. The speaker also comes in a spherical silk dome with seven built-in speaker units that offer 110dB and a frequency range of 20HZ to 25 KHz. The speaker is available for $6791.
