swissmiss, and all other New York denizens, these are available to experience and purchase at the Muji store in the New York Times building (along with many other interesting pieces). I believe they have them in several neutral tones.
Tried it there myself and agree with commenter David. Altho it’s a fun design and interface the sound quality is not for larger spaces (but still impressive given the size of the overall piece).
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)

It’s a great design well executed… but the sound quality isn’t very good. OK for use in a small kitchen or mobile home, but don’t replace your hi-fi.
