The BoomBag concept is intended to allow friends to share digital music while on the go. GRO used the analogy of a carrier bag as a more appropriate icon for portability than traditional ghetto blasters.
Designed as an accessory for iPods and other portable music players, the BoomBag is made from durable and weatherproof speaker fabric. Housing a full-range speaker and rechargeable battery, it is easy to carry and protects the MP3 player from the elements.
Volume and stand-by controls are integrated into a fabric ‘tag’ on the side of the bag, enhancing the soft luggage feel and further reducing the impact of the technology.
The BoomBag is a self-initiated project and one of a number of speaker concepts developed by GRO at the beginning of 2005. GRO design is currently looking for a production partner to realise this product. As such this product is not yet for sale.
