Le Pavé Parisien: A Unique Speaker Made of Concrete Presented at CES 2019

Standing for a circular economy and against planned obsolescence Le Pavé Parisien presents the only high-end wireless speaker entirely cast in concrete. This is how French company Le Pavé Parisien, a startup founded in 2016, introduces its first product, which can already be ordered online and will be shown at CES 2019 for the first time. Cast in concrete and 100% "Made in France," Le Pavé Parisien hopes to appeal to a market wishing to combine superior audio quality in a portable design that is entirely repairable and recyclable.
