Woofer by Josh Rubin
Though I'm not sure what the sound quality is like, this Woofer is brilliant sculptural double entendre none-the-less. Created by Buro Vormkrijgers, a Dutch design studio founded by Sander Mulder and Dave Keune, the headless dog speaker system is available as a single woofer or a pair of stereo speakers. The team is also planning to follow-up with Tweeter, a bird-like desktop speaker system. No word yet on pricing or availability, but there are other fun things on their site.

Like other minimalist artists before him, Round appropriates...
