Rock legend Marshall and street fashion brand Patta, two brands with ** as the core, recently jointly launched a limited edition portable speaker. The Emberton II loudspeaker has been refreshed and upgraded to retain Marshall's signature sound quality while incorporating the Caribbean sound system culture. This collaboration is a continuation of the partnership that began in 2022, hoping to deepen the common mission of the two brands, and is also an exploration of the commitment of both parties to "amplify their voices".
Through Patta's unique aesthetic, Marshall's rock legend is reinterpreted for the first time. The co-branded limited edition Emberton II speaker is a tribute to the ** that brings people together. The design of the speaker embodies the DIY spirit common in sound system culture, and the colorful grille with OSB wood grain print and fluorescent orange silicone shell makes it a unique existence and a new interpretation of the retro speaker aesthetic.
Guillaume Schmidt, co-founder of PATTA, said: "We are delighted to be the first brand to partner with Marshall to design a portable speaker. Patta has a strong connection to the sound system culture and even the community as a whole. As with many of our collaborations, we touched on all aspects beyond the product and explored the dimensions associated with the collaboration."
Marshall and Patta invited renowned Caribbean artist Gilleam Trapenberg to direct the new campaign, which transports audiences to the vibrant everyday life of the Caribbean. By capturing intimate, primitive and pure moments of life, the film realistically recreates life in the Caribbean, inspiring a deeper connection to the local way of life.
Jeremy De Maillard, CEO of Marshall Group, said: "The partnership with PTTA is more than just product design, it is rooted in a fundamental belief in the power of cohesion and inspiration. Patta's commitment to amplifying the voices of underrepresented groups is inspiring and aligns well with Marshall's values and heritage. Together, we want to create meaningful products and experiences that bring energy to the communities we care deeply about."
The Marshall x Patta co-branded Emberton II will be released on February 23 on the Marshall Mini Program official ** and DOE (Shanghai Tongren Road, Xintiandi store, Shenzhen Shum Yip Shangcheng store and Aranya store), MarshallHeadphonescom、patta.NL is available in limited quantities worldwide.
