LIVING
DAMAN^AUGUST/SEPTEMBER201953It’s definitely the age of
minimalist design packing a punch.
The Harman Kardon Citation 100
proves exactly that –the modern
subdued look would blend perfectly
with the rest of your Swedish DIY
living room assembly. But what it
lacks in buttons or indicator lights,
it compensates with powerful
performance. The smart speaker of
course caters to communal activities
held in that same living space, which
is why it’s perfect. First of all, it
connects with any smartphones (via
Bluetooth) as well as microphones,
and secondly, the sound it makes
would fill and light up any party!

As if taken straight from a certain sci-fi Pixar
animation movie, the Dyson Pure Cool Me looks
as, well, cool as its namesake. Slightly giving the
impression of a cross between a mechanical gadget
and a spaceship odometer, the rounded top houses
the fan which will blow purified wind on a more
concentrated target. Its smaller dimension also helps
in making it more portable –you can set it up on a
nightstand, desk, kitchen counter or the coffee table.
Being a smart fan, it’s completely remote controlled
and can determine the angle and power of the air
flow depending on your preference.Starstruck
Two of the world’s most stylish brands, namely Saint Laurent and
Bang & Olufsen collaborated on a limited edition collection that
evokes innovation and elegance. The Beoplay A9 Home Speaker is
sleek, sexy and sophisticated. It comes with solid anodized mirror
black aluminium legs and a black Saint Laurent signature printed on
the back. Meanwhile, the Beoplay A1 Portable Speaker projects more
sound and more bass with its high tech ambient 360° sound, and comes
in high gloss black. Both speakers support Chromecast, AirPlay 2 and
Bluetooth – they are also compatible with any streaming service, and
can be paired with more speakers for an all-around experience.
