Rethinking simplicity

_______

Nice entrusted us with the design of a new line of architectural speakers, with a dual goal: eliminate installation complexity and achieve top-tier acoustic performance. A project where technology and design come together to redefine industry standards. 

The shape of functionality

_______

The design revolves around ViseLock™, the proprietary system that allows installation up to 75% faster –completely tool-free.  We developed a clean and consistent design language, where every detail strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetic perception. The result is a product that communicates precision and lightness, seamlessly integrating into any architectural environment.

Every decibel has its shape

_______

In close collaboration with the Nice Product Design team, we meticulously refined every part of the system: from the inner ring that houses and protects the tweeter, to the central bridge that optimizes acoustic balance, down to the foot that anchors the speaker to the mounting surface.

High-performance materials – such as black Kevlar for the woofers and aluminum/magnesium alloy for the tweeters – have been incorporated through formal choices that express solidity and performance, delivering a sound experience that is clear, deep, and immersive.

When design wins

The Nice Premium Toolless Architectural Speakers are the result of a project that combines functionality, technological innovation, and attention to detail.  Winning the Best of Show @ ISE 2025 and the Red Dot Design Award 2025 is a tremendous honor, recognizing the value of the work carried out together with Nice Group.  A solid and ongoing collaboration that allowed us to approach every stage of the process with precision and consistency, translating complex technical requirements into an intuitive, high-performance, and visually balanced product. 

To us, it’s proof that when design meets innovation, it simplifies the experience and creates the perfect conditions for authentic sound and music that truly resonates.
