Colorful Street Informed Speakers: Emberton II

Audio brand Marshall launches its first collaborative portable speaker project with Amsterdam-based streetwear brand Patta; the two work on the former’s Emberton II speaker. the portable structure is compact and developed to evoke 360° sound.

the design language is inspired by Caribbean themes and sound system culture as a means to generate a close sense of community. the speaker also has an OSB wood print, contrasting with a bright orange that forms the outer layer and a colorful grille that is detailed in a gradient of green, yellow and red as a nod to Patta’s Surinamese heritage. the speaker will launch globally on February 23 on the Patta and Marshall websites.

Patta co-founder Guillaume Schmidt says: “We are excited to be the first brand to collaborate on the design of a portable speaker with Marshall. Patta has strong ties to sound system culture and broader music communities. Like many of our collaborations, we touch on various aspects beyond the product, exploring multiple pillars of the project.”
