WALLS? I SCREAM
Walls are stupid. We need a roof
over our heads to keep the rain
off, and we need a floor under our
feet to keep us out of the grot, but
for what do we need walls? For
this: Bang & Olufsen has revealed
BeoSound Shape, a wall-mounted
wireless hi-fi system that you
build by tessellating a mixture
of hexagonal tiles. Some of
them are amplifiers, some
are speakers and the rest are
stuffed with acoustic damping
material, although one must
also contain the BeoSound Core
wireless module. How much?
B&O isn’t saying yet, except that
a basic system of six tiles will cost
about £3400. Yipes.
