Kapsel Media Center – trendy, design-minded and different
It measures 28 x 23 x 10 cm, can be positioned either horizontally and vertically or on the wall (!). We have to say that the design is very different from many other computers we have seen. It doesn’t imitated the look of traditional consumer electronics – it’s totally different. This is definitely something to put in your living room!
Kapsel has been designed by the award-winning Swedish design agency Propeller. It’s powerful and silent, barely audiable even in a very quiet room.
Kapsel Media Center is on sale in Sweden and Denmark since June 07. However the first batch of machines were mostly prebooked so buyers will have to wait till the end of August for new deliveries. They are currently looking for retailers in other countries as well.
