Introducing the new Brutalist Speaker, a tribute to the architectural style of the 1950s and 1960s, now available in homes as a 60cm tall, 12kg speaker system. The design, made from 70% recycled materials, pays homage to works like Victor Pasmore's Apollo Pavilion, and promises both visual and auditory excellence.
This is the new Brutalist Speaker, described as ‘a monument of sound and design’. Paying explicit homage to theof the 1950s and 1960s, the speaker system is available in black or white, stands nearly 60cm tall and weighs in at a suitably concrete 12kg. The aluminium casing is an artful collision of geometric forms, with two 3-inch tweeters expressed in extruded cylinders.
