OrigAudio was launched in 2009 by Jason Lucash and Mike Szymczak two entrepreneurs that turned their dreams into a reality. Both traveled constantly in their early careers and wanted to create an easy way to listen to their music on the road. It was in their travels that the idea for OrigAudio came about as they recognized a need for an eco-friendly, portable solution, for listening to music while on the go.[1][2]
Their first product called “Fold n’ Play”, are foldable speakers made from recycled materials and require zero external power, making the product eco-friendly. The speakers utilize the Japanese art of origami to fold and unfold and were the first speakers on the market made out of paper with this technique. They created the product out of old newspapers, phone books, and pizza boxes. These speakers landed them a spot on Time Magazine's prestigious “Top 50 Inventions of 2009”[3] list and on the Today Show. [4]. Other inventions on the list were among a Nasa rocket, an Aids Vaccine, teleportation, and even a custom puppy.[5]
OrigAudio’s newest product called “Rock-It” revolutionizes the way consumers listen to music. With the ability to turn almost anything into a speaker, “Rock-It” utilizes vibration sequences to turn and object into a speaker. The product was launched in January 2010 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.[6] The product was named to the New York Post's list of the top gadgets to look for in 2010.[7]
OrigAudio turned the need for simple, sustainable, and portable solutions for listening to music into a reality with their products. Today, OrigAudio continues to develop unique and interesting portable audio devices for consumers of all kinds out of their office in Chicago.
