My name is Tina Roth Eisenberg. I am a 'swiss designer gone NYC'. swissmiss is my visual archive of things that 'make me look'. I am a graphic designer and run my own studio in Brooklyn. Contact me if you would like to team up, have a link suggestion or just want to say hello: submissions {at} swiss-miss.com.
It's a great design well executed... but the sound quality isn't very good. OK for use in a small kitchen or mobile home, but don't replace your hi-fi.
swissmiss, and all other New York denizens, these are available to experience and purchase at the Muji store in the New York Times building (along with many other interesting pieces). I believe they have them in several neutral tones.
Tried it there myself and agree with commenter David. Altho it's a fun design and interface the sound quality is not for larger spaces (but still impressive given the size of the overall piece).

A Muji classic ...a legend really...
