combine The Novogratz’ unique designs with one of Soundfreaq’s most popular and successful products. The limited edition speakers are currently available at
Soundfreaq.com
for $99 and are ready to ship in time for Father’s Day. The Novogratz Collection for Soundfreaq matches The Novogratz’s funky style with Soundfreaq’s track record for offering products with smart features, impressive audio quality and the convenience of Bluetooth streaming. The design and color palette of the new limited edition collection of Sound Rises make them an especially great gift for any musicloving dad. “We’ve been fans of the Novogratz for years and we’re thrilled to continue this collaboration with Bob and Cortney to bring their unique style into more homes,” said Matthew Paprocki, cofounder and creative director of Soundfreaq. “Adding their design aesthetic to our Sound Rise takes it to the next level and makes it a statement in any bedroom or even office.” “Plaid Freaq, Field Freaq and Sea Freaq were inspired by Timber Cove Inn, a new hotel in Sonoma, CA that we’re currently redesigning,” said Robert and Cortney Novogratz. “Our fans really loved Sound Rise Flower Freaq, which was the limited edition speaker we designed for Mother’s Day. When we saw such a positive response, we knew we had to offer something just as cool for dads.” First unveiled at CES 2014 and named a CES “Best of Show” finalist by
iLounge
, Sound Rise maintains the classic features found in oldschool alarm clocks, but with much improved functionality and added features to enhance today’s modern lifestyle. Sound Rise streams awardwinning audio via Bluetooth and is equipped with a universal USB power port, allowing users to charge their smartphones with ease. Sound Rise also offers dual alarms with weekday/weekend settings and gradually increasing volume, allowing users to wake up gently to the radio, music or alarm chime. Sound Rise’s upright design reduces the size of its footprint, taking up less room on valuable nightstand real estate. It’s also built with adjustable display settings that ranges from extra bright to total blackout for those who don’t want any light coming from their alarm clock. Sound Rise’s display is also designed with a custom font that optimizes readability without filling a room with excess light. Sound Rise includes a special dedicated button to use either as a sleep timer to fall asleep to music for a set period of time or as a nap timer to nap for 15, 30, 60, 90 or 120minutes.
