The Site:1 wireless speaker from Wisconsin-based Princeton Audio wants to be an alternative to plastic speakers, so it relies on wood. It comes in four different types of wood, actually: mahogany, black walnut, maple, and black cherry. Design is the big selling point for the Site:1, which, sure, it does look different than the average speaker, but it also reminds me of things I see around the house. Like a shower drain:

Princeton Audio appears to recognize this resemblance because its marketing material includes a photo where the speaker is in a bathroom, near a sink, in what seems like a direct nod to the Site:1’s shower drain feel.

The Site:1 also reminds me of a cheese grater:

Or even a skimmer spoon thing:

Again, Princeton Audio appears to understand its product’s resemblance to various kitchen utensils because it placed the speaker in a kitchen for its marketing material. It’s directly next to the food, as if it helped prepare it.
