Home speakers were once hulking objects that were necessary eyesores for the audiophile. Engineers and designers fought for years to make them more inconspicuous, and we’ve reached a point where speakers can be hidden almost anywhere. That’s all well and good, but there is another option—a visible speaker that happens to, you know, look good. Such is the case with Surface. Surface is a wall-mounted speaker that looks like a piece of modern art. Sanded, colored, and finished by hand, each Surface speaker is made of real wood that’s been shaped to enhance sound dispersion. The entire surface is the speaker. Available in three different colors, Surface is part speaker and part work of art.
