For the SE exhibition 2009, KVIST Industries wanted to present some new ideas for loudspeakers.

 

As this factory has a lot of know-how in pressing and lamination of wooden veneer, I found it natural to sketch some soft curved shapes, that would also help to avoid resonating soundwaves, a common problem in box-shaped loudspeakers. Also, partitioning the bass-part from the rest of the cabinet could be an advantage for the sound-quality.

 

During my sketching this idea came up and, for once, I couldn´t resist the symbolic and humorous layers connected to a somewhat “figurative” shape.

 

Perhaps this solution could even help couples out of quarrels about the size of the loudspeakers…
