PANDORA music boxes

PANDORA music boxes are made in collaboration with composer Sampsa Ertamo and watchmaker Simo Ylitalo. The collection combines experimental compositions to mechanical movements. Acoustic structure of the music boxes follows same old tradition which has been used in bowed string instruments. Local spruce and maple are the main materials of the cover. Visual design of the music boxes was inspired by the composition. Form follows music.
