Rumble Seats for Teenage People

With the Rumble Seat, James Owen from USA won the first prize at the TEENAGE FURNITURE
february 2005 international design competition.

Rumble Seat is a new way to enjoy music individually and with friends. Constructed of gusseted ABS plastic, the main enclosure houses a powerful subwoofer, two mid-range speakers and four tweeters. Rumble Seat can operate on four D-Size batteries or on AC power through the use of a retractable power cord built into the bottom of the unit. It features a simple control interface for connecting any portable audio device.

The interface area is surrounded by a rubber overmolded handle assembly. The entire structure is capped off top and bottom with a rubber overmolded seat pan and base. The rubber provides comfort while maintaining durability. Several Rumble Seats can be linked together to allow a group of people to enjoy each other’s music and create unity through sound. The Rumble Seat is an extremly good idea for saving space also, and this mainly because it has double functionality – it is both a chair and an audio device.
