You might have seen cardboard computer cases so why not speakers? MUJI introduces these portable cardboard speakers that fold up flat and can be stored in a plastic pouch when not in use. They are fully functional speakers made out of cardboard and a few electronic components. Plug them into any device with a headphone jack and they are ready to use.

MoMAstore has them available for $42

Dashie looking for something like this?

Is this amplified?

the paper fold is a revolutionary new kind of transmission line. Bass extends down to a stunningly low 300Hz.

can't find any in-depth info for it. incidently..

"MUJI" or "No Brand Goods" is a name derived from the Japanese phrase Mujirushi Ryohin. Muji emphasizes on using simple materials, processes, and packaging and making products that are environmentally friendly while also beautiful in their simplicity.

If the bass can extend this low, I wonder how well it does high frequencies...

It's just cardboard. It won't last forever.

And if you get it wet...
