Alex Underwood's speaker buddies take cute to a new decibel

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 6th 2008 at 8:08PM

We've seen some pretty unorthodox speaker designs in our day, but we can't recall a set with a cute factor like these. Designer Alex Underwood recently exhibited his aptly-named speaker buddies in London, and understandably, they received a good deal of attention. The child-shaped devices are crafted from expanded polystyrene that can be moved about with ease, and while there's no telling if the audio quality is even close to bearable, we'd say that's hardly the point here.
