Bamboo Radio | 2007
This radio was inspired by the Gramophone from the late 1800's. I used this form factor as a way for a small radio to project sound 360 degrees, using the components from a provided Tivoli Model One radio. Using the ceiling as a reflector, the concept behind this radio is being able to share music over a large space. Inside its guts, a wireless card will allow the user to stream music directly from their computer, as well as listen to normal radio stations (for the purposes of the working mockup, I used an Apple Airport Express to demonstrate the principle). By allowing the the sound to echo in the lower sealed chamber, I was able to maintain the good bass response for which the Tivoli is known.
