May 15th - via: technologytell.com
Alex Walker, Jack Brody, and Madeleine Thompson are all fourth-year product design students at the Stanford D.School.

Easily installed with just one screw, the mount puts the speaker in an acoustically optimal position in the corner of a room, turning your walls into natural, passive amplifiers across all frequencies, no additional wiring required. (Read More)
