Fabio Ognibeni and his Opere Sonore company create speakers made from rare Italian tree

Look at this awesome monstrosity! This looks more like the antlers of a Norse demi-God than a pair of speakers, however, speakers they are. Fabio Ognibeni and his company Opera Sonore must have set out to make the weirdest looking speakers of all time because that’s what they are. It’s not just weird though. There is some cool ideas behind these wacky and wild speakers. They reproduce the effect of Stradivarius vibrations, using the tree of the Fiemme Valley in Italy to do so. The tree has straight, long and parallel fibers that makes the sound travel superbly. How much does it cost to have these conversation pieces inside of your home? $263,000, but, come on. Demi-God antlers.
