We did it! Our Transparent Speaker received full funding on Kickstarter and even surpassed it’s funding goals, and finished being 141% funded.
Transparent Speaker will be going into production during this spring, and our continued development is secured. Our first users and backers will be receiving their Transparent Speakers during late spring, and thus the Transparent Community will be started!

We’re glad to announce that our Transparent Speaker is fully funded on Kickstarter!
In 21 days, we’ve reached our set goal of $120,000. But it’s not over just yet, we’ve still got 24 days left of our campaign.
A big thank you is in it’s place to our Backers, Supporters & Friends for helping us make this happen. It’s great to say, the Transparent Speaker will be produced, and most importantly enjoyed. Stay tuned!
Our friends over at VentureBeat just featured the Transparent Speaker in a fantastic review. Saying among others “Not only is the Transparent Speaker beautifully designed and sounds great, but it’s also built to last more or less forever”
But also talking about our appearance with one our earlier Prototypes of the Transparent Speaker, in Will.I.Am and Britney Spears new music video for “Scream & Shout”. The video currently has over 33 million views!
While idea of a repairable, modular speaker has obviously attracted the attention of hackers and tinkerers, it’s also interested pop superstar will.i.am, who featured the speaker in a recent video right before blowing it up. That’s the kind of promotion that you oftentimes can’t even pay for.
Here’s the thing, though: People People has no idea how its speaker got in the video. “It’s strange, and it’s funny, and it’s nice, but we had nothing to do with it,” Brickstad said.
We’re now on our sixth day of our 46 in total on Kickstarter and we’ve just reached 60% on Kickstarter! The first six days have been amazing! In only our first 6 hours, we reached 30% of our funding level, and sold out all of our first-stage assembled speakers on our first day. At our Stockholm office we’ve watched and received tons of great input, and also pushed our espresso-machine to the limit.
Big press featured us; Wired called our Transparent Speaker “Gorgeous” and “perfect for someone who wants to add some boom to their room without clunky cubes dissing their design aesthetic”, Engadget said “a potent sound-pusher, but also as a highlight of industrial design” Read more
