Simple as abc

“Plugg” is a prototype DAB radio, investigating physical and metaphorical interaction with electronic devices. A cork fits nicely into the hole where the radio’s speaker sits beneath. By pushing the cork into this hole, the radio turns off…..and by removing it, the radio turns itself on again.
Theo Tveterås and Lars Marcus Vedeler, established Skrekkøgle to experiment their quirky design ideas.

“Plugg” is one of their latest prototyped projects. A “yellow cube radio” with a big cork button which fits nicely into the hole where the radio’s speaker sits beneath. By pushing the cork into this hole, the radio turns off…..and by removing it, the radio turns itself on again, a low tech system for fan of low-fi.
