Say what you may about the trend of portable smartphone-to-bluetooth-to-speaker trend, it has managed to unleash a wave of creativity when it comes to speaker designs. I have been blown away by this concept Blossom speaker, designed by the Bebop Designers from Seoul, South Korea. On the webpage dedicated to the speaker, BeBop notes that “the form of a beautifully blossomed flower that’s been simplified into geometric shapes of a cone and a cylinder.” 

It is for a brand called Lexon. And BeBop notes, “that audio-dispersing cone can be nested into the main cylinder body for portability, while also serving as a protective shell for the delicate speaker cover.” It checks many boxes: Bluetooth, Portable, 360 degree sound experience.
