BE@RBRICK AUDIO Releases MoMA Exclusive Speaker
Boasting a retro translucent shell and technicolor parts.
BE@RBRICK, known primarily for its collectible figurines, has reimagined its BE@RBRICK AUDIO Speaker for a limited-run MoMA Design Store exclusive.
The BE@RBRICK AUDIO Color Block 400% Speaker is modeled after the brand’s classic figurines, but inside, boasts QUAD’360™ omnidirectional audio technology developed by Ukrainian electro-acoustics firm Rinaro. Over 20,000 hours of development was required to reach the final design, including 214 new parts, to optimize sound quality.
With a USB-C charging port the portable device offers fast charging, clocking in at 1.5 hours to fully charge, for up to 6 hours of battery life. Bluetooth® 5 technology also provides a higher bandwidth and expansive range of connectivity.
Along with high-fidelity audio, the exterior shell offers an unconventional zoomorphic speaker design. Translucent plastic exposes the inner wares, making the device reminiscent of retro electronics from the early-aughts, while technicolor body parts add a unique touch of expression. Just like the classic figures, the arms of the bear movable into different poses per users’ preferences.
The BE@RBRICK AUDIO Color Block 400% Portable Bluetooth Speaker retails for $600 and is available now, exclusively at the MoMA Design Store.
