apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

So is this what we mean when we say a design has an organic feel to it? Maybe the real question is 'what in the world is a hyoutan'? A hyoutan is actually a kind of japanese cucumber......that apparently makes for a good set of iPod speakers. At first glance we immediately thought they looked a lot like the Scandyna speakers, but we were also reminded of the wooden salad bowl speakers we had seen before.
