Retro Camera-Like Speaker Concepts

The Kodak C400R Bluetooth Speaker by Hyunjun Yu is Minimalist

This Kodak C400R Bluetooth Speaker concept has been designed by Hyunjun Yu as a decidedly minimalist piece of audio equipment that draws inspiration from photography equipment. The speaker features a camera-like design aesthetic that's clean, minimalist and stylish for audiophiles alike to incorporate into their mobile device collection. The speaker delivers clear audio when listening to music, taking a call or even watching a movie, and connects wirelessly to any device to maximize compatibility.

The Kodak C400R Bluetooth Speaker concept is rendered with the work of Dieter Rams during his time at Braun in mind and features just two buttons for operation. The speaker also comes with two battery packs that can be interchanged via the rear like a roll of film to further call to mind the photography-inspired design.
