The importance and relevance of record cover design seems to have increased in recent years partly due to the new popularity of vinyl.

TipTop is a simply designed bluetooth corner speaker that is fully portable and easily installed. It’s corner location actually enhances the sound quality it produces, a neat example of design using it’s surroundings.
