this is the second concept i came up with. thinking about a way to neatly store away the speakers when not needed, and utilizing the versatile shape of a cylinder. the speakers are stored away within the cylinder in a clean seamless form, but rotate out and upwards when needed. on the top is a tweeter and below in the bottom facing the table/floor/whatever the radio is sitting on, is the woofer. so it provides the full range of sound. the top part of the cylinder has an exterior ring which rotates around the entire thing, which allows for the frequency tuning.
i've yet to work out exactly where to put the on/off, am/fm, volume functions, and where to put a small digital display for showing the current tuned frequency and other relevant data. the exterior is made from brushed aluminium.

hey we are both doing the cylinder! well i guess it's for people who can't think of any thing original... just kidding ;p

nevertheless, i don't really understand what happens when the speakers unfold, and how the rest of the radio will hold together.
