eek! speakers that look like mice (sorta)

filed under: home entertainment | just plain fun

Forus Mouse Speakers

In the beginning, there were speakers that looked like dogs, then along came some cats, so I guess it was only a matter of time before the rodentia would feel left out of the audio food chain.

Like their mammalian inspiration, these Forus Mouse Speakers feature a long snout and rounded ears. And just like real mice, their skulls pop open to reveal tiny speakers inside their bulbous heads…

Seeing Double Wall Clock from ChilliChilly

The numbers on this unique wall clock from Hong Kong’s ChilliChilly may look confusing when the hands aren’t over them, but as each hand reaches a number, colored discs reveal the proper time.

I’ve written about so many modern digital watches that sacrifice ease of use for cool design (I’m talking to you, TokyoFlash). So it’s a breath of fresh air to see a modern digital that manages to balance looks with ease-of-use.

DesignEon Digital LED Alarm Clock

I really dig the clean modern styling of this bedside alarm clock from DesignEon. The cool thing about it is that there’s a built-in light that casts a dramatic glow from beneath the clock.

can speakers be angelic?

filed under: design | home entertainment

Angel Multimedia Speakers

Fresh off the shelves from Hong Kong’s Brando come these new multimedia speakers with a strange name.

They may be calling these “Angel Speakers,” but I actually think they look more like twirling ballerinas (or Whirling Dervishes for that matter.) Regardless, they’re pretty cool looking, and make add a dramatic splash of color to any desktop…
