“Ready to Work” appears to promote the Levi’s workwear line, this time portraying the situation of workers and women of Braddock, Pennsylvania, which has experienced serious financial difficulties in recent times. Its mayor, John Fetterman, received national attention for his attempts to help rebuild and revive the town by enlisting the help of modern pioneers – artists, craftsmen, musicians and business owners.

Some very unique speakers from Chicago’s Specimen. Little Horns are handcrafted entirely in Chicago, Illinois.

These horns turn the audio world upside down. They posses a life-like soundstage unlike anything ever heard. With the Little Horn Speakers, the soundstage gets bigger, the instruments spread apart, the stage unfolds.

A special inverted design enables the low frequencies to emerge at the top of the enclosure. An octagonally fluted horn carries them upward and lets them flourish into the room. The immense structural rigidity of the horns octagonal geometry minimizes resonances yet allows sound waves to expand freely the way nature intended. There is simply something beautiful here, not just bass frequency reproduction, but a spatial imaging that belies the speaker’s size.

See construction process.

Good stuff from Michele Angelo, an Italian designer working from Barcelona. Check the site.
