Trust designer Phillipe Starck to come up with something stunning, and he does not disappoint with the Zikmu wireless speakers although there will be certain quarters who think that all of Starck's creations are lovely to look at but impractical. These 2.5 feet tall speakers communicate with each other via Bluetooth, and is able to broadcast sound 360° arround the room courtesy of Parrot's NXT technology that relies on an extra-flat mebrane to create small-scale vibrations across the speakers' entire surface. According to Philippe Starck himself, "We were not aiming to create just another speaker. Our design focused more on making the air vibrate. There is actually a three-dimensional feel to this vibration, meaning that the air is palpable, almost humanlike in presence, like a fragrance." The price for designer speakers? $1,500 when next spring rolls around.
