The 'Teno' speaker light is an unexpectedly stylish audio and illumination solution that has been designed to shake up the industry with an aesthetic that is as thoughtful as it is functional. The device is inspired by the Japanese tradition of kintsugi that highlights the breakage point in an object instead of simply replacing it and thus encourages a more mindful use by the owner. Users are thus required to crack open the speaker to turn it on and reveal a magical illumination unit on the interior that will shine just a bit of tranquil light in a space as audio is played.

 

The 'Teno' speaker light functions as a light, and speakerphone, but is also more like a work of art that users will be proud to display within their home or office.
