"Even though we are most known for our transparent collection of products, that is not the reasoning behind our name," Per Brickstad, creative director at Transparent, tells WIRED. "It's about our overall approach to honesty in design, and how we want to be seen by our customers. So we have been exploring various materials and the different ways we can manifest that design philosophy in new projects."
"We had been looking at Brutalism quite a bit because it's such a mesmerizing architectural style-you don't know if these buildings are from another planet or from Earth. But it also lends itself well to positioning components for acoustic performance too."
"We were keen to do another speaker in this category, but one that relates more closely to our minimalistic design approach," Brickstad said. "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."
