Ceramic Speakers
Simple, great material usage and good performance these Ceramic Speakers by Joey Roth are perfect for pairing with an aluminum laptop, iMac, or similarly minimalist turntable.
Made from porcelain, wood and cork, Roth chose the materials not only for the aesthetic appeal they add to desktops, but also because porcelain’s density and “acoustical deadness” rivals that of wood or plastic enabling the cone shape. The upshot contrasts the thoroughly contemporary mix of textures and colors with a four-inch silhouette that conjures gramophones of the past.
San Francisco based designer Joey Roth blew our collective minds way back in 2007 with his conceptual Felt mouse. We hope to see some more beautiful work from this great designer.

Very nice and very “rustic” with a touch of craftsmanship that makes them very attractive. As usual simplicity proves anything but trivial. However, simplicity is efficiency and, for me, often beauty…
the look a little like vases, but like their shape
Minimalissimo reader David Lane just informed me via email about this other ceramic speaker from Orb Akustik: http://www.orbakustik.com/gallery.html. Thanks, David!
Beautiful. This reminds me of the old CRTs aircraft (for experts :)
