CMF

You've held a milk carton, which is why you can't stop staring at these speakers

You've held a milk carton, which is why you can't stop staring at these speakers. CMF, the budget sub-brand of Nothing, has taken the most mundane object in your fridge and turned it into something you want on your shelf. That's the trick, isn't it? Familiarity is the sharpest hook there is. We've seen this before, the way a clever shape makes you lean in. Zook Cabins' Winslow proves that 400 square feet can feel like a coastal cottage, and here CMF proves a cardboard box can feel like a hi-fi. The milk carton is a joke that lands because it's also genuinely good design. It's playful without being precious, and it makes you wonder why every speaker still looks like a black cylinder. It's a clever hinge, this one. You'll smile, then you'll listen.
