韩国设计师郑贤安(Jeonghyun-Ahn)的独立扬声器“Canvas”以艺术画布和迪特尔•拉姆斯(Dieter Rams)为灵感,将设计、艺术和声音结合在一起。

Inspired by art canvases and Dieter Rams, Korean designer Jeonghyun Ahn’s standalone speaker ‘Canvas’ marries design, art, and sound.

安想创造一个“不仅有用而且直观,而且美观”的家居用品。为了做到这一点,他设计了一款产品,摒弃了传统的音箱盒形,取而代之的是类似于画家使用的纯白色画布。画布的用意是给家里增添一种微妙的元素,就像一件艺术品,它在形式和功能之间达到了一种美丽的平衡。简洁的设计使整体可以与任何室内空间融为一体。灵感来自迪特尔•拉姆斯的“工业设计”,Canvas将强健的外形与优雅的风格结合在一起。

Ahn wanted to create a household object that “is not only usable and intuitive, but one that is also aesthetic”. To do this, he designed a product that foregoes the traditional box-shape of speakers and resembles, instead, the pure white canvases used by painters. Intended to be a subtle addition to the home, like a piece of art, Canvas strikes a beautiful balance between form and function. The clean and minimal design allows the monoblock unit to blend with any interior space. Inspired by Dieter Rams’ industrial designs, ‘Canvas’ combines a robust shape with an elegant style.

安采用了少即是多的设计手法,使得播放音乐的过程,以及扬声器的外观,都尽可能简单。前面有一个平滑,极简的外观,没有按钮和品牌元素的设备。扬声器朝上,呈75度角,可方便地将设备放置在任何空间,并在任何所需方向上发出声音。除了音质之外,“Canvas”的独特特性还赋予了产品独特的设计感,这在传统扬声器中是很少见的。用设计师的话说,“画布扬声器无疑是不同的”。

Ahn took a less is more approach to the design, making both the process of playing music, and the look of the speaker, the simplest possible. The front has a smooth, minimal appearance, devoid of buttons, controls and branded elements, which are instead found on the sides, top and back of the device. The speaker is oriented upwards, at a 75-degree angle, allowing the device to be easily placed in any space and to deliver sound in any desired direction. Alongside the quality of its sound capabilities, the distinctive character of ‘Canvas’ gives the product a unique design presence, rarely found in traditional speakers. In the words of the designer, “the Canvas speaker is undoubtedly different”.
