The Monkey

German design studio Ding 3000 realised The Monkey, a radio and speaker, featuring an ingenious snap-on antenna that allows to cling to any support.

The unique feature of The Monkey radio and speaker is the ingenious snap-on antenna with its spring metal core. It offers two iconic positions, enabling The Monkey to be used in two different ways. With the antenna in straight position it is a static object. And it playfully becomes your mobile companion with the antenna clinging around handles, tubes and any other support.

  Designers said: “Mobility demands an easy method for fixing the gadget to anything. With the goal to achieve this with the radio itself and not with something additional like a strap we came up with the idea to use the antenna for this feature. Fascinated by the ability of spring steel we found the perfect material for the antenna. Super fast, super easy and super playful.”
