Sound Blind Speakers Pull Up Clutter and Hang Down the Party

— July 15, 2009 — Art & Design
Here is an interesting concept that removes the clutter of stereo equipment into a very unexpected location. The Sound Blind Speaker design by Wonho Bae is actually a set of blinds that plays music.

The concept description is very vague but we can be sure that there is some sort of electrical connection for power and a different connector via wireless or cord to attach the speakers to a sound system.

The only thing for sure is that the Sound Blind Speakers can be pulled up just like regular blinds (apparently it won’t ruin the speakers). This might be a little out there, but you can’t say you wouldn’t want speakers for curtains.
