High definition technology has come to stay. It is the trend of nowadays – high tech design of our homes, prevalent cold colors, straight lines and tendency to cubism.
I often think that what surrounds us day by day -- makes our lives! Urban living is considered high-style and sophisticated, but we almost forgot about our origin environment. Still, we have already reached the point when we can't cope with the world we live in unless we reach a compromise.
The famous designer Branko Ludovic, probably was thinking of the same when created these beautiful MP3 Pebble Objects. I'd rather say that he is a genius! He found a great solution to my dilemma – nature or comfort. Now I have several pebbles playing some ambient music to complete the design of my "natural" apartment. I guess creating such objects is the first step to make us recollect our origins.
At first I wondered why the designer chose pebbles, but then it made sense! Pebbles are soothing and they have some kind of silent wisdom. They accumulate warm solar energy during the day and refreshing energy in the night. Pebbles store information and pass it through time as every stone is believed to do. They are bearers of memories, they are stelae.
Identically, each natural creation is a unique piece which has its unique meaning! Imagine a world where consumer electronics has the shape, color and flavor of nature? I bet that there would be less stress in this world. Coming home would be a great therapy and would even increase productivity.
Though I'm usually skeptical when it comes to appearance of some innovative gadgets, this one has pleasantly surprised me. Some would probably say that designer's genius could be used in a more interesting way. Could it? I doubt. Being one of the whole army of the MP3 Players this one still differs. It's original design is a sign of virtue. I'd rather use this pebbles MP3 Pebble Objects than a Teddy bear MP3 player or a PEZ MP3 player.
We have detached too much from nature, and I think the nature found a way to come in our homes! Just think about it.
