Having an impressive home sound system is often something to proudly show off, but this simple speaker designed by Vifa makes its presence made by powerful sound. Rather than looking like many other traditional home speakers, this understated design puts style first, as it is offered in a range of speakers that would seamlessly blend into the home environment.
The simple colorful speaker can be wall-mounted or set upon a surface, making it look more like a sculptural piece of decor than a part of a home entertainment system. The design language used in Vifa's previous speaker designs like the handheld copenhagen speaker and the helsinki boombox are carried through to the elongated Stockholm speaker.
The simple speaker design is a marriage of form and function that would be at home in any interior space.
