The Lab Different starting points

Different questions lead to different kinds of objects.

Our interest in audio reaches into the things around it. A figure, a garment or a structure can provide a different way of thinking about an object's place in someone's life. The collection reflects several of these starting points.

What gives an object character?

David I and David II approach the speaker through the presence of a figure. Their recognisable silhouette invites a reading that is both functional and expressive: an audio object with a personality in the room.

David I Denim extends that idea through clothing. Created with denim artist Rock Yeh, its handmade surface introduces texture and individual variation to the David form. A familiar material becomes a different way to encounter a speaker.

What can a transparent surface reveal?

With NEBULA, the enclosure allows the eye to move into the object. The sphere, the visible components and the open space between them can be seen together.

Transparency gives construction a visual role. It creates a relationship between what an object contains and how it presents itself.

How can structure become expression?

LIQUID invites an architectural reading. Its geometric panels and visible supports create layers, edges and intervals of open space. The form gives the eye several relationships to follow.

Seen alongside David and NEBULA, it demonstrates how different design interests can give an audio object a distinct presence.

Keep the conversation open.

These directions leave room for other perspectives. We value the exchange between disciplines, the questions that come from an unfamiliar reference, and the patience to learn through trial and error.

Exploration begins with curiosity about what else an audio object might become.
