Form meets function in this curvy smart speaker that thinks outside of the (boring black) box.

, like most smart speakers, is all about minimalist design and ease of use. But unlike most smart speakers, this imposing airship is meant to take center stage in any space. A 14-pound ellipse that seemingly floats atop its curved metal pedestal, Zeppelin packs five drivers and 240 watts of amplification into an elliptical enclosure measuring more than 2-feet wide, its grille sheathed in luxe mesh fabric.
