RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
According to the most known brands among portable speakers it´s found that most of them are made by men with a technical background and to approach the hi-fi market rater than the woman who shall use it in their home. There was a gab in the market and we could not find any sustainable solution. A real craftman ship. Most speakers a bulk manufactured in thousand of numbers. To find a speaker that was beyond tech but a sculpture and piece of art did not excist.

CHALLENGE:
Make good sound in an old metal world war 2 jerry can were a challenge. Dampening work took using various materials and testing to find the right acoustic sound. Sourcing and designing the parts and make it go along with the visuals - make the speaker practical and visual beauty. Not only the make the product capable to produce even just in a limited numbers was difficult.
