092508_rg_speakerbuddies_01.jpgBritish designer Alex Underwood exhibited an interesting looking series of speaker that he aptly named Speaker Buddies as part of the 100% Design London fair. The speakers look like a sculpture of a child, with the speaker as its head. Looks like something out of modern art. The speakers are designed to work in pairs.

092508_rg_speakerbuddies_02.jpgThe speakers themselves are made out of polystyrene and are lightweight, which contrasts nicely with the way they look. Underwood has chosen to integrate polystyrene because it's often a not highly regarded material. If these speakers ever see production, our guess is that they won't be made out of it.
