Three-storeys Soundhouse Enveloped in Black Rubber

4 Comments »

This three-storeys Soundhouse with a unique black boxed structure is where people from the University of Sheffield, with a big passion for music, get to play. The 450 sqm building – designed and Careyjones Architects and put up by Jefferson Sheared Architects – is a first for the U.K. for using black rubber to dress it up (almost) completely.

Why they used leather is obvious. To build a soundproof exterior. And they did it. The black building has become a landmark on the university campus, turning heads both for the design and the creative environment. Consider it the 21st century flagship for “music boxes”.

Apart from doing what it was designed for – music, it’s a mix between boring and pretty. Do you like it?

Wood LCD HDTV Surround Sound Entertainment from Swedx

4 Comments »

Swedx is a Swedish company who specialise in what they term as ‘unique products of natural character’. The concept of SWEDX is to create and develop unique products of natural character, optimal design and features. This is achieved by combining quality, performance, ergonomics and design. In the news section appears that they want to release a new range of HD ready LCD television entertainment systems which build upon their current range of wood finished LCD HD televisions. If you are interested in this new LCD HDTV I’m sad to announce that any details concerning the new range of LCD HDTV systems is virtually non-existent at the time of writing, with only a series of product images are available on their website for now. Anyway this HDTV would be a great chooice for those who want to something different with an organic look. – Via – Nexus404
