Winning an iF Design award is no easy feat, especially when entrants are placed in a category alongside renowned names, visionaries, and teams. The world of high-end, in-home audio is especially competitive, with well-known companies like Harman Kardon participating somewhat regularly. The outfit’s newest project, a speaker known as the Aura Studio 3, is its most recent award-winning platform.
Upon first glance, it’s immediately apparent why the Harman Kardon Aura Studio 3 has been bestowed with one of iF’s most prestigious design awards. It’s sleek, elegant, and original, taking on the form of a rounded, futuristic enclosure. Aside from its utilization of 360-degree audio, ambient interior lighting, and an immersive speaker/subwoofer setup that promises unrivaled sound quality, the speaker also makes a striking aesthetic statement. When in use, its internal lighting moves, sways, and ripples, mirroring the waveforms of its audible medium with dynamic visuals to complement your favorite tracks. Head to Harman Kardon’s Amazon listing to pick up one of your own for $300.
