Parrot’s Zikmu Speakers at Zinc
Designers in the 21st century are faced with the challenge of aesthetically incorporating technology. Flat screen TVs were a big step forward, but speakers can still provide interesting dilemmas. I prefer in-wall speakers, but at times their use is an impossibility due to perhaps a concrete or brick wall etc. So I was delighted to come across Parrot’s Zikmu speakers designed by Philippe Starck.
They are wireless, which makes a designer’s heart jump with joy, come in four colors, and look cool enough to be considered sculptural elements in any modern interior. The top has a docking station for an iPod or iPhone, and the sound is pretty impressive.
The speakers retail for $ 1,600.00 a pair and are available at Zinc Details in San Francisco.
