“We [have used] earrings as symbols
of distinction since time immemorial,”
the designers of kawamura-ganjavian
tell us, “however they are not particularly
useful items.” In response they have
designed the Earshell—a sound-enhancement
device that is also an
elegant adornment and dramatizes the
interest of the listener.
