One of the latest designs by iconic French designer Philippe Starck is the Parrot Speaker set. This completely digital speaker set is linked wirelessly creating a perfect surround sound effect.
The collaboration between Parrot and Starck aimed to achieve the combination of the latest in wireless technology with an aesthetic that can represent our time. And they certainly managed to achieve this. The most sleek, simplistic and sculptural looking device was the outcome.
Parrot CEO Henry Seydoux approached Starck as he was determined to design and produce a speaker that could cater to our new way of listening to music, that is to say a more mobile approach to music. These days people don’t just listen to music at home on a record player or CD player. The majority of us have our own ipod and have music libraries on our computers. We can listen to music everywhere. Seydoux therefore wanted to make a speaker that could easily welcome everybody’s music.
Parrot by Starck is therefore compatible with not only ipods, but many types of phones, including the iphone.
