Zoo by french designer Ionna Vautrin uses the many nuances of the "Hallingdal 65" fabric which is made by Kvadrat, in a series of bright, colorful, oversized pillows that appeal to children and adults alike. The zoo includes a toucan, a panda bear and a whale.
Marc Russell founded Gull Lake Boat Works in 2008 to create custom-built canoes. Specifically cedar strip canoes.
The idea for "the natural speaker" derived from the desire to create an absolutely unique, handcrafted speaker for the interior space. Whereas a lot of speakers are constructed to produce a rather fat bass and sharp high tones, we felt the sound was kind of stuck inside the speakers, missing a natural vibe and ambiance. During the development of "the natural speaker" we discovered the great properties of porcelain as a speaker casing, providing a clear resonance and mellow sound.
Amplified inside the ceramic and wood transmission construction, the sound gains a slight echo, creating a natural feeling of resonance, resembling the distinct flair of an acoustic instrument right in front of you.
Each set of pieces is individually crafted by hand and each porcelain casing checked for best amplifying performance.
So if you value a balanced mid-tone sound and a speaker with a "feeling" for your music, find our more about "The Natural Speaker" here.
