boiling tunes

This kettle has been transformed into a high quality docking station with a fully integrated sound system. The original lid closes when not in use to make this statement even more subtle.

The kettle is a standard Western household appliance that consumes an astronomical amount of energy in a relatively short amount time and, worst of all, they are almost always overfilled, wasting electricity unnecessarily.

As music becomes cheaper ( free even) and more accessible, and the technology to store music becomes ever more vast, many people fill their ipods almost mindlessly, as they do their kettles, with music that they won’t necessarily ever enjoy or appreciate. The theme of waste therefore combines these two unlikely elements.
