Stockholm-based audio brand Transparent has a bit of a habit of making wireless speakers<\/a> that look rather different<\/a> to the rest of the market. But its latest bold take on speaker design is something of a departure from its more well-known and, well, transparent<\/em> roots, and a venture into new shapes and materials for the brand.<\/p>\n

The Brutalist Speaker takes its reference from a style of architecture that originated in the UK in the 1950s, known for its simple, geometric lines and championing of raw materials over decorative excess.<\/p>\n

Instead of the tempered glass used in a number of its other products, Transparent’s Brutalist Speaker is made from 70 percent post-consumer recycled aluminum. With its 6.5-inch side-mounted woofer, alongside dual 3-inch tweeters, placed rather strikingly at elevated 90-degree angles, it laughs in the face of traditional speaker design.<\/p>\n
