Stunning Devialet Butterfly speaker concept comes with an elegant design and dual-firing audio chambers
A successor to the Phantom, this fan-made concept takes Devialet’s unique design language to new heights.
I’ll be honest, it’s been nearly a decade since Devialet unveiled the Phantom and it’s still the most beautiful speaker out there (it also still remains on my bucket list, even with its $2k price tag). However, seems like the Phantom has some competition, at least in the looks department) from the Devialet Butterfly, a fan-made concept from the mind of Carota Design. The butterfly boasts of a design that seems like a beautiful intersection between nature-inspired design and luxury design. The speaker has a soft triangular side profile, and sports audio chambers on each side. The Butterfly, just like the Phantom has the famous speaker grille at the front. It also mounts to the Devialet tripod, for an (literally) superior sonic experience.
Designer: Carota Design
A visual exercise in recreating Devialet’s product language, Carota’s Butterfly speaker is all about looking elegant. With the same CMF options as Devialet’s other speakers and a combination of white and chrome, the speaker is also designed around Devialet’s product language. The Butterfly speaker by Carota is all about elegance.
Unlike the Phantom, however, the Butterfly is a delicately designed speaker that can only be mounted on a tripod. The Butterfly cannot be placed on a tabletop because it lacks a flat base. However, the tripod’s slim legs help to create the appearance of a delicate butterfly. Carota Design made the Butterfly in leather and red finishes. I would love to see it in black.
