This Bluetooth speaker is visually pleasing


I wouldn't mind having this portable speaker sit on my desk. Designed by award-winning Danish designer Cecilie Manz and crafted by Bang & Olufsen, the BeoPlay Beolit 15 features True360 omni-directional sound, up to 24 hours of continuous play time from a single battery charge, and premium materials such as anodized aluminum and full grain leather.

The $550 Bluetooth speaker weighs 5 pounds and is much bulkier and boxier in design than its predecessor—the Beoplay A2. It's a real powerhouse featuring 4 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators, driven by dual Class D amplifiers, delivering 240 watts of peak power. Available in Natural Champagne, Polar Blue, and Shade Rosa accents.

Her elaborate line work is painstakingly methodical, layering strokes of the pen in varying directions to create amazing shapes and topography that look like they are covered with intricate mesh netting. I was wondering how many pen strokes does it take to complete just one of these drawings, so I did some research and found out that her small 5 in. by 7 in. illustrations typically take a few hours, while an 11 in. by 14 in. picture can take anywhere from 10-25 hours. "My hand does hurt a bit after marathon sessions, but never anything too crazy," she told Lisa Congdon. "I try to rest my eyes/hands/brain every once in awhile by looking away from the drawing, dropping the pen, and taking a breather." Katy received a BA in Mathematics, Art, and Spanish from Greenville College in Il...
