The DB60 speaker looks a lot like the tip of an airliner’s wing, ripped off, shrunken, polished and hung on the wall. And it might well be – who knows where the designers got their materials? But once mounted on your wall and hooked up to power, it becomes a Bluetooth speaker of uncommon practicality.
First is that wing, which is now a stylish hardwood shelf for the source device, be it an iPhone or (if you don’t mind a bit of balancing) an iPad. No longer will you need to search for a place to put the phone while it plays music or podcasts.
Next is the USB port, which is there for charging your device. It’s hidden underneath the wing so you won’t see it if you don’t need it, and turns the DB60 into a great charging station. You could even run a cables to a dock up on the shelf if you felt the need.
And of course, there’s Bluetooth for those times when you don’t want to plug the phone into a speaker.
Want one? Then be prepared for a long wait. The DB60 product page is just there for show, and to serve as a destination until the Kickstarter campaign begins. Then go course you’ll have to pitch and wait again for the final delivery, if it ever comes. But the reality is that the publicity has come too early: you will all have forgotten about this when the Kickstarter finally launches, and I’m not going to write it up yet again.
It’s a real shame, as one of these would look great in my kitchen.
