Speakers come in all shapes and designs these days with designers taking inspiration from anything, from leaves to shoelaces (just stretching it a bit far there). But if the wine glass speakers that had made an appearance sometime ago do not fascinate you then perhaps something more healthy and closer to nature may appeal to you. Like peas all snug and cosy in their pod. The Pea Speaker system has six pea shaped though not pea sized speakers that sit atop one another in their transparent pea pod.

Designed by Lu Le, the pea speakers work through wireless Bluetooth. Only one amongst the six peas controls the global volume. Each of the peas can easily be taken out of the pod and separated from its mates to be scattered around the room to a feel of surround sound. The white-balled peas are powered by lithium ion battery that is recharged through induction as it sits safely in its pod. Unfortunately, the Pea Speaker still remains a concept, but let’s hope it enters production real soon!
