sets<\/li>\n<li>The brutalist, club-culture-inspired design features stacked geometries, high-gloss lacquer and a concealed front driver<\/li>\n<li>Available now, with custom color options available online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During NYCxDesign 2026, New York\u2013based furniture designer Kouros Maghsoudi and hi\u2011fi audio studio Silence Please unveiled their collaborative project: the Hum Speaker. Presented at Silence Please\u2019s Bowery listening space, the limited\u2011edition design merges Maghsoudi\u2019s sculptural approach with high\u2011fidelity audio engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Each speaker pair is produced in an edition of only ten sets, available in custom lacquered finishes. The debut introduces two striking colorways \u2013 Bone and Black \u2013 emphasizing reflective surfaces and sensual curves that conceal the driver behind a sleek facade, while the rear gradually opens to reveal the speaker component.\n<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration draws inspiration from New York\u2019s nightlife and techno culture, referencing the visual language of large sound systems, brutalist interiors and the emotional intensity of dance music. Maghsoudi\u2019s design language \u2013 stacked forms, repetition of simple geometries, and exaggerated curves \u2013 is translated into a collectible object that functions as both audio equipment and sculptural centerpiece.\n<\/p>\n<p>Available now via Silence Please\u2019s website, the Hum Speaker is priced between $12,000 \u2013$15,000 USD range.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6725668\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike and Zellerfeld Unveil the 3D-Printed AIRMAX 1000.2 in &#8220;Black\/Hyper Crimson&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726295\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Kith and adidas Football Pay the Ultimate Tribute With Lionel Messi Collaborative Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726429\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>J.Crew and Timex Reunite for a Limited-Edition MK1 Watch\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

sets<\/li>\n<li>The brutalist, club-culture-inspired design features stacked geometries, high-gloss lacquer and a concealed front driver<\/li>\n<li>Available now, with custom color options available online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During NYCxDesign 2026, New York\u2013based furniture designer Kouros Maghsoudi and hi\u2011fi audio studio Silence Please unveiled their collaborative project: the Hum Speaker. Presented at Silence Please\u2019s Bowery listening space, the limited\u2011edition design merges Maghsoudi\u2019s sculptural approach with high\u2011fidelity audio engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Each speaker pair is produced in an edition of only ten sets, available in custom lacquered finishes. The debut introduces two striking colorways \u2013 Bone and Black \u2013 emphasizing reflective surfaces and sensual curves that conceal the driver behind a sleek facade, while the rear gradually opens to reveal the speaker component.\n<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration draws inspiration from New York\u2019s nightlife and techno culture, referencing the visual language of large sound systems, brutalist interiors and the emotional intensity of dance music. Maghsoudi\u2019s design language \u2013 stacked forms, repetition of simple geometries, and exaggerated curves \u2013 is translated into a collectible object that functions as both audio equipment and sculptural centerpiece.\n<\/p>\n<p>Available now via Silence Please\u2019s website, the Hum Speaker is priced between $12,000 \u2013$15,000 USD range.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6725668\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike and Zellerfeld Unveil the 3D-Printed AIRMAX 1000.2 in &#8220;Black\/Hyper Crimson&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726295\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Kith and adidas Football Pay the Ultimate Tribute With Lionel Messi Collaborative Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726429\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>J.Crew and Timex Reunite for a Limited-Edition MK1 Watch\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

sets<\/li>\n<li>The brutalist, club-culture-inspired design features stacked geometries, high-gloss lacquer and a concealed front driver<\/li>\n<li>Available now, with custom color options available online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During NYCxDesign 2026, New York\u2013based furniture designer Kouros Maghsoudi and hi\u2011fi audio studio Silence Please unveiled their collaborative project: the Hum Speaker. Presented at Silence Please\u2019s Bowery listening space, the limited\u2011edition design merges Maghsoudi\u2019s sculptural approach with high\u2011fidelity audio engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Each speaker pair is produced in an edition of only ten sets, available in custom lacquered finishes. The debut introduces two striking colorways \u2013 Bone and Black \u2013 emphasizing reflective surfaces and sensual curves that conceal the driver behind a sleek facade, while the rear gradually opens to reveal the speaker component.\n<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration draws inspiration from New York\u2019s nightlife and techno culture, referencing the visual language of large sound systems, brutalist interiors and the emotional intensity of dance music. Maghsoudi\u2019s design language \u2013 stacked forms, repetition of simple geometries, and exaggerated curves \u2013 is translated into a collectible object that functions as both audio equipment and sculptural centerpiece.\n<\/p>\n<p>Available now via Silence Please\u2019s website, the Hum Speaker is priced between $12,000 \u2013$15,000 USD range.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6725668\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Nike and Zellerfeld Unveil the 3D-Printed AIRMAX 1000.2 in &#8220;Black\/Hyper Crimson&#8221;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726295\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Kith and adidas Football Pay the Ultimate Tribute With Lionel Messi Collaborative Collection\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6726429\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>J.Crew and Timex Reunite for a Limited-Edition MK1 Watch\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
