Pylon -surround speaker at Habitare furniture fairs
Habitare 2007 will be held at Helsinki at 20.-23. of september.
Our department from university of Lapland is also participating. Earlier today I heard that one of the early prototypes is featured on university web pages ;)
Unfortunately the article is available only in Finnish, but have a look at other designs too.
Codesigner for the textiles, Eija-Riitta Vähämaa and I hope that you come and visit Ahead-design area in Helsinki Fair Centre hall 5 to see how the design Really came out like.. Other interesting object might be Grandma's Revenge, by Mikael Heikkilä
The idea for the design of Pylon speaker relies on combining everyday living with new technology.
Pylon is a high quality speaker with unexpected shape and changeable textile cover on all sides. Speaker is wired from the bottom, and wires can be led to any of the four directions, which makes it highly suitable for surround speaker. With changeable covers speaker can be tuned into any interior, either to be bold or almost invisible. Textile covering all sides, speaker can be placed even in the middle of the floor. The four piece textile serie called Elo, is designed by Eija-Riitta Vähämaa.

Hei, Hei!
It's a pity that I wont have the chance to see you all in Habitare07. But I'm pretty sure that you'll be a success. For the north, by the north!
Those textile speakers look really awesome! They should look nice in my home but as always the price could be the greatest obstacle...
I think I´ll take a closer look to those at Habitare.
Luckily all the components are really production oriented.
-I can give you some hints, so you don't have to count on that somebody will start to produce these ;)
