SHOW AND TELL
Google’s ‘Nest Hub Max’ smart display is
a voice assistant that answers in visuals
as well as audio. The 25cm matt display
is big enough for squint-free video calls,
can be gesture controlled and it features
a camera for home security monitoring.
£219 (store.google.com).
SUITE SOUND
Bowers & Wilkins’ striking
‘Formation Suite’, a luxury
audio system for the whole home,
promises to banish wires and
deliver noticeably pure sound.
The individually designed pieces
(speakers, soundbar and hub)
stream audio with up to 24-bit
resolution. Compatible with Apple
AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect.
From £600 ( bowerswilkins.com).ARTFUL TV
Offering more than just a pristine picture, Bang & Olufsen’s
‘Beovision Harmony’ television conceals much of its 77-in OLED
display behind its elegant oak and aluminium sound system, but
switch it on and the speakers gracefully fan out – like a butterfly
opening its wings – as the cinematic screen rises to the perfect
viewing height. £20,000 ( bang-olufsen.com).
CLEAN AIR ACT
This whisper-quiet Swedish home
air purifier will help you breathe
as nature intended. The 51cm-high
‘Blue 221’ by Blueair comes
wrapped in a choice of fabrics and
is simple to use – there’s only one
button. £355 ( blueair.com).WORDS: TOM BAILEY
