Philips roots, Flipz vision: a legacy of unique sound systems
It all started in Eindhoven, a city in the Netherlands known for innovation and precision. For years, our founder Eric worked at the giant company Philips, perfecting the art of sound. He loved the precision and technology, but something was missing. Philips was all about mass production, and Eric longed for something with soul—something more personal.
One spring morning, he stumbled upon an old jerrycan in his workshop. The rusted metal and faded paint had character—what if he could turn it into a speaker? That day, he began experimenting, merging vintage charm with modern craftsmanship.
Eric soon realized it wasn’t just about sound, but about stories. Each object—whether a suitcase, jerrycan, or menu box—carried its own history. He named his new venture Flipz, a tribute to his time at Philips, but also a way to put his own twist on sound.
