A Speaker with a Surprise

atelier_01

“Atelier” is a hybrid entertainment system that marries high end audio and television into one elegant unit. According to designer Kwanjun Ryu, it’s first and foremost a speaker to appeal to younger generations less concerned with TV.

Created to rest close to the floor, it’s capable of delivering multidirectional, high-def sound that will envelope the user in their favorite tunes or talk radio. With the press of a button, a 32″ screen automatically raises to reveal a full HD color screen. This means, when it’s not in TV mode there’s no blank, black box cramping your room’s style! The removable fabric front and back can be custom colored as easily as picking a Pantone paint chip. Simply swap them out as your look grows and changes!

Designer: Kwanjun Ryu
