Humor me for a second here, but I swear to you, the concept of the Vol Portable Speakers is too similar to the Diwali Lanterns in India. However it doesn’t take away the novelty in design of what Carson Leong and KSL Design were shooting for. In fact, I think it’s a great approach of using the natural up-down sliding motion to increase and decrease the volume of the speaker. So much better than just hitting some buttons or turning a dial, and can make a great accessory to any desk. Check the method.
