Yanko Design must’ve been thinking about Pandas when they made this bamboo speaker concept. Who says that bamboo is just for pandas. The speaker features WiFi connectivity, an integrated LED display that shows the equalizer, MP3 line-in, remote desktop synching, and a CD player. The speaker concept consists of three parts:right/left channel wireless speakers, a base station and a control ring. Unfortunately this concept hasn’t made the cut yet but I sure hope it does!
