Pnoe Horn Speakers

Okay. There’s big speakers and there’s huge speakers, but I think Arcadian Audio’s Pnoe Horn deserves its own category (I had to publish this under “furniture” as well as “audio”, hah). After 10 years of development they’ve created a horn speaker designed to create “the smoothest, roundest path for the sound wave front, without any obstructions, so that there are no sources of standing waves and spurious reflections”. How about that now. It’s made out of shiny fibreglass (both in- and outside) with special damping materials and it uses the AER MD3B driver for “ultra detailed presentation and warm sound”.

There’s no word on pricing, but I think it’s safe to assume they’re crazy expensive.

Acquatinta Suspension Lamp

This is Acquatinta Suspension Lamp by Produzione Privata, one of the most stylish pendant lamps I’ve seen in a long time. It’s designed by architect Michele de Lucchi and made from transparent green and mouth-blown Murano glass (dimensions: 8.75" H x 9.4"). It’ll set you back a bit though, $700.00 to be exact.

Diamantini & Domeniconi “On-Time” Clock

I just love the On-Time clock by Diamantini & Domeniconi, it constantly fast-forwards 3 minutes so you never have to run for the bus. Genius.

The Online BodyTrace eScale

BodyTrace realized that people need a carrot to lose weight, and a pretty good carrot is the shame of showing that you actually regained the weight you lost online. In comes the eScale, a surprisingly stylish scale connected to the internet, posting your progress (or failure, let’s be realistic) online. The scale costs $119 (including a 3 month subscription of the online service) and then $19.99 per quarter.

So, besides looking at fancy graphs and what-not you get to form groups with friends and family to follow and the website makes suggestions for eating and working out.

Leopard: The Robotic Office Chair

Leopard is a highly advanced office chair straight from Japan now actually available for real (the concept has been around for a while). Basically it uses unpowered robot technology inspired by the basic principles of human anatomy to sink by 25° when you sit down in it, and rise up as you lean forward. Besides promising awesome comfyness this means that it’ll adjust itself behind your back and wrap around your bum when you lean back (imagine being held in someone’s arms) and then even give you a little push when you want to get up.

Oki and Okamura will sell this chair, meaning it’ll probably show up for us Westerners as well soon, and it’ll be available with both black and white frames. Leather will set you back about $2,500, fabric about $2,100.
