Bunaco: A Gorgeous Minimalist Speaker by Nendo

Japanese design firm Nendo created this beautiful bluetooth speaker in collaboration with the sustainable wood sculptors at Bunaco.

“Bunaco is known for creating lamps, vases, and tableware from very thin strips of beechwood, each layer spun carefully on top of the next to form watertight seals. With Nendo, Bunaco essentially transformed its vase design into the diaphragm of a speaker.”

“To accentuate the beauty of Bunaco’s woodwork, the speaker is supported with a transparent acrylic cylinder. The clear base makes it possible to see the unfinished edge that is left curling from the bottom, enabling users to intuitively understand the speaker’s structure as well as the craftsmanship invested in its production.”
