Music: a thing best kept in the cloud, in 2016.
Now literally.
Developed by the Richard Clarkson Studio and Dutch “levitation tech” gurus Crealev, Making Weather is a levitating Bluetooth speaker that resembles, well, a storm cloud.
Currently a prototype, the MW is a mid-size cumulus that floats 1-2 inches above a reflective oval base thanks to magnetic components in each part. The cloud unsettlingly rotates and bobs when the device is on.
The cloud also features sound-reactive LED lights, creating a storm-like effect in your living room.
Making Weather is currently in prototype, but Crealev does expect it to hit the market at some point. They have the chops: the company already has floating lamps, hoverboard displays and smartphone displays for sale.
Meanwhile, if you truly need a floating speaker, there are plenty of others on the market. May we suggest something less unsettling, like the Death Star?
