Sony stands Sounds great with Sountina
29 May, 2008 – 6:22 pmSony Just got better!!!!
Traditionally it’s cool for speakers to look crazier than a bag of cats - take a look around at bonkers efforts like Fatman’s rotund Fatboy or B&W’s pointy Nautilus in all their drug-induced lunacy. But mad doesn’t have to mean weird, as Sony’s concept-come-to-life Sountina proves.
First unveiled around a year ago, no one really expected this tubular glass tower to see the light of day in the real world, but Sony has gone against the grain and whacked it into production for the lucky few endowed with way too much money to even look at a price tag.
It delivers non-directional sound thanks to the organic glass tube that vibrates and expands sonics to a full 360 degrees; essentially meaning it should be ear massage central no matter where the butler has positioned your Eames Lounge recliner. Designer.
On sale from June 20 in unnecessarily overpriced shops across Europe, the Sountina will comes in at an utterly unreasonable 6,500 euros
