When hardware becomes soft #6

The Bluetooth speaker from the Scandinavian brand "Nomad" combines two sensory experiences in a single object: aesthetics and sound.
Technologies are already a part of our lives. Now it's a matter of designing them beautifully and making them "human". Product designers such as those from the Nomads brand are taking on this task. They harmonise sound, design, packaging and technology. For aesthetes like me, this plays a major role in the choice. Every gadget I buy should match my interior and lifestyle and not be a foreign body. Because I listen to music every day and my home is not yet equipped with a sound system, I choose the mobile Bluetooth speaker "Bring One" and tell you here what makes it a piece of jewellery for me.
"Although we are nomads, music is our anchor"
Even nomads have roots. In the case of Nomads, they say it's music. According to me, it's also their home country of Denmark. As a design connoisseur, I immediately recognise the influence of the Scandinavian design language in their work, which is unadorned and function-oriented. She makes sure that the technology is packed into a handy size so that you like having the speaker around you.
Whether you're in the bath or on the beach, you can stay mobile with Bring One thanks to its waterproof shell and twelve-hour playtime. What's more, it comes beautifully packaged in a metal box and with a cloth bag for travelling.
How to use it
Because the Bluetooth speaker has a leather handle, I like to hang it on my wall or wardrobe. Depending on which room I'm in. It also hangs on my shower rail in the bathroom, to which I have attached an S-hook for it. Because it's the size of a handbag, I take it with me on weekend trips if I'm not sure whether the accommodation is equipped with a music system - better safe than sorry.
