In 1887, Emile Berliner invented the gramophone.

And over the next 127 years, speaker technology remained virtually the same.

And by the same, we mean not invisible.

Stare right through Clio, a transparent pane of glass that streams deep, room-filling music from any wireless device, available for preorder now.

Speakers. They’re big and boxy and include a jumble of wires. Well, usually. See, in some cases (okay, just in this case), they’re single pieces of acrylic glass that utilize complicated science-y principles to produce crisp 24-watt sound. And to look all sleek and inconspicuous while doing it.

So the next time you’re hosting a gathering where music would be appreciated, place this thing somewhere that could benefit from 360-degree sound. Somewhere far away from foot traffic. Because it’s capable of streaming audio from your phone or tablet via Bluetooth.

And, also, it’s a really fragile piece of glass.
