Helsinki – Speakers are necessary eye-sores in the home – black, rectangular boxes with oft-tangled wires. Finnish company Unmonday has created a speaker that is completely wireless, white and with intuitive controls.
With the Unmonday Model 4.3 shape is just as important as sound. The hexagonal speakers have sensors within, so when the speaker is rotated, it enters different modes. When there are multiple speakers in one room, rolling the speaker onto a different side syncs all speakers together to create a surround sound system. If you tilt the speaker upside down, it goes mute. It is a tactile and intuitive way to interact with a music system.
The streamlined design and tactile quality aligns the speaker within our Fem Tech design direction, where we highlight new technologies that are more refined and elegant, blending into room environments.
