Laba

LABA (Horn in Chinese) is a modular speaker that explores sonic interactions with materials and shapes. It draws inspiration from traditional gramophones and comprises of interchangeable acoustic horns that modulate sound to complement the music style.

The iconic acoustic horns are designed to limit the radiative energy dissipation of sound-waves and instead directs it towards the user. In-order to achieve acoustic manipulation for the intended purpose, these horns, although similar in form, vary in material and internal design.

Sound is material. Sound is experience.
