Gramo Speakers…these are the bomb! Take a gander at these amazing solar powered speakers. Pekka Salokannel is the designer. In his own words:

Gramo speakers are made for digital music lifestyle. Whether you go for a picnic or stay at home listening your mp3’s, it gives you freedom of music. Gramo is easy to bend flat, which makes it easy to carry with you. When you turn elements out, speaker transforms to a table speaker. Design comes from the beginning when real records started to appear. It was gramophone - also as inspiration for the design. Gramo speaker holds 5 elements inside. Outside 3 toppest surfaces are also solar panels, which makes battery last longer when you’re enjoying fresh air and good company outside. Volume changes with soft touch of your finger.

Alas, I have not had the pleasure of listening to them just yet. Nobody has. They are not even up on the Products tab on the site yet. Just a concept. Your beach picnic BBQ may have to wait until next summer for their debut.

Pekka’s site is full of very interesting designs and concepts. There is a super watch design that began by working the watch band first (Oakley - like… I think). Please check it out. Way, way cool!
