Radio vase

From the outside this is a vase, but it opens out to a radio. The outside
would be elaborate art nuvo style engraving in a bronze finish while the
inside is minimal. The outside's classical appearance contrasts with the
contemporary feel when it's opened out. The flower's are contained in two
cavities in the top- there are several solutions to this but I like this
one as it repeats the form when it's opened, just as the speaker, (on the
left), and the tuner, (on the right), do. This radio would be more
expensive then most; around $80-$100 but it's not really a practical
object, more a curious sculptural type of object.

Such an innovative idea! So something i would love! Just wondering though will the vase fit into the dimentional constraints that we have been given?

this would be an interesting object to make. it's great to see you stepping out of the square but, have you thought about the kind of flowers (length, height) it can hold since there's a limit to the size? overall great idea!

I agree, great idea. We need to know how big it will be though!

this will be a good one to explore in the modeling stage. Untill then, use this idea and explore some different shapes.

Hey thanks for your comments! Yes I have though about the dimentions, It will probably have a max diameter of 7cm and be 13cm tall. So yes, it will only hold one or two single flowers with short stems; the type you pick from your, (or someone else's :O) garden.
