Andrew Lim and Anthony Saul Lopez from All Design Labs created the Pentatonic speaker concept which is defined by a simple folding mechanism. It functions with Bluetooth connectivity and turns from a pentagon shape in a barrel into a flat panel.
This gives users the flexibility to use the speak in a way that accommodates their lives rather than the other way around. It is all made up of aluminum laid out side by side so that is easily folds into itself. The four outer panels are where the speakers lie and it has a blend of regular drivers and bass. The middle panel is where all of the controls for volume and pairing with Bluetooth are.
