Headphones with artwork by Parra

An interesting choice for a unique pair of headphones, this set is made of Finnish birch and features artwork by Dutch artist, Parra.

The headphones were originally put out (sans artwork) by The Perfect Unison, a label by David Burel and were available in different sizes to fit your head. They were only available via email order and some sites have reported that they went for 250 GBP. You can contact them via email if you are interested in picking up a pair of the originals and it looks like they'll continue to put out new versions.

The headphones themselves feature 30mm Ultrasone drivers which have a frequency range of 20-20,000hz and an impedance of output of 35 ohms.

As for this pair featuring artwork by Parra, it looks like they've only made 50 of them and they're only availalbe at select retailers including The Lazy Dog store in Paris.

Here's a bit about Parra:

An underground star in his hometown of Amsterdam, where fans scour the streets to tear down his posters, Parra's work is treasured by a new generation of design fanatics.

A natural self taught Typographer and Graphic Artist, Parra grew up living with his artist father. Surrounded by colour, oil paint, wood, & Rubenesque paintings he immersed himself in early nineties music and street culture, developing the unique style he's know for today.

Taking a handfull of selected commercial design jobs every year Parra prefers to make the bulk of his output flyers, posters & identities for friends & admirers, making his work available for everyone to use, keep or discard as they wish.

His first solo gallery show, "Jobs I did for friends for under £100" took place at London's Kemistry Gallery in March 2005 and sold out in three days. Hugely prolific, Parra also designs his own streetwear label, Rockwell clothing, launched in 2000 and stocked in London, Tokyo, Berlin and New York.
