Where do Boom-boxes come from?
Design Exchange of Toronto, which calls itself “Canada’s national centre for the promotion of design,” claims that the Project G stereo, which Clairtone Sound Corporation produced, was “conceptually original, technically and functionally perfect, and aesthetically superior.”
It was “the epitome of a design icon.”
No sure about you, but I do quite like it, in a strange Monday morning way. The world’s first boom-box or all in one lifestyle stereo perhaps? Nice emotional advertising layout iPod style eh?
So what happened to this so-called design icon?

Thanks DT.
