Woofer by Josh Rubin
Though I'm not sure what the sound quality is like, this Woofer is brilliant sculptural double entendre none-the-less. Created by Buro Vormkrijgers, a Dutch design studio founded by Sander Mulder and Dave Keune, the headless dog speaker system is available as a single woofer or a pair of stereo speakers. The team is also planning to follow-up with Tweeter, a bird-like desktop speaker system. No word yet on pricing or availability, but there are other fun things on their site.

Designer Joey Roth (of Sorapot fame) recently sent us images of his sharp-looking new speakers, which soft-launched at Nooka's pop-up store at Den in NYC (see details below). 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...

Attitude Chair by Deger Cengiz
New York designer Deger Cengiz's elegant standard chair features an extra pair of hinged legs that swing into place when the user tilts backward. While he's not the first to come up with the idea (see Homer Simpson's similar version in "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace"), the finished chair bears the quality of timelessness rarely found in such gimmicky conceits. Apparently inspired by ill-tempered...

Marcel Wanders: Behind the Ceiling
A breathtaking monograph of prolific designer Marcel Wanders, "Behind the Ceiling" investigates the designer's motivations and inspirations, going beyond a simple catalog of work to lend real insight into what makes him tick.

Lars Amhoff: Neo Gramophone
We were able to chat with Lars Amhoff of the German-based Kinkyform, which has been collaborating with artists to produce furniture and objects that meld art with a functional purpose or "Usable Art." In Amhoff's latest creation, the Neo Gramophone, he updates a familiar form with iTunes digital streaming and a high-end subwoofer and speakers. Unlike the original gramophones comprised of a player and a...
