Magic words to convince me to get this: "Limited" and "Starck"

Imagined by Philippe Starck

 The LaCie Blade Runner is more than just a beautifully designed hard drive – it's a creation by world famous designer Philippe Starck that represents the combination of human and machine. The LaCie Blade Runner's sharp, cage-like enclosure surrounds an almost anthropomorphic, liquid metal interior. This metaphor was inspired by a cyber future illustrated in the 1982 movie "Blade Runner," and begs the question – just how much control do we have over technology?

Philippe Starck in collaboration with audio manufacturer Parrot created Zikmu - A speaker system that features a pair of 2.5-foot tall columns each reminiscent of the bell end of a trumpet.

The system offers a docking station for playing tracks instantly from your iPod/iPhone/iPod Touch. It also features WiFi audio playback for compatible devices, streaming tracks from Mac/PC devices via bluetooth and RCA line-in input for analog audio sources.

 

Four colors to choose from
