Now, this will be interesting to detail, mostly because it doesn't come with technical details. This, my friends, is the Pulse Music Box, by Johannes Tjernberg & Rasmus Malbert. I will start this by mentioning that the two claim to have been inspired by Charlie Chaplin's film Modern Times before building this, and knowing the film, I can almost relate to that, aside from the fact that it doesn't have anything resembling wrenches and nuts.

The black glossy structure that you see is partly covered by tiles, and sports a classic brass organ crank, which I would have never guessed it is actually the volume control. Just as you can see below, this is just another speaker with a state-of-the-art pretentious shape that should become one's centerpiece of the room it is placed in, well, at least according to the creators.

Speaking of the creators, I will resume to mention that Johannes Tjernberg is a freelance interior designer, and has bachelor and master's degrees of fine arts in design, whereas Rasmus Malbert has his web page under construction.

Getting back to the Pulse Music Box, this also embeds two speakers and an amplifier, barely hidden inside the structure, but I can't really figure out what's with the second input and that switch.

The only thing I can think of is that the creators also implemented a pre-amplifier as for the Pulse to accept phono signals from turntables. Further on this, there's only design-wise info left and I will continue with the funniest - that of the Pulse sitting on mirror laminate surface "as if floating on the surface of a quiet lake."

Come on, the two fellows seem not to take their marketing appropriately, since they lack notoriety and there's no iPod dock in there. All in all, there is no pricing information available, nor any mentioning of availability.
