OBEN's Sculptural Speakers Blend Art and Acoustics
OBEN, a Los Angeles-based company established by artists Stevie and Bronx, has introduced its inaugural collection, Echoes of Earth, featuring artisanal speakers that blend art and audio. The lineup includes five distinct models—Korus, Arqos, Callisto, Mane, and Jovian—crafted from various materials such as solid hardwood and mineral composite, utilizing a single full-range driver design to maintain sound quality. With prices ranging from $26,000 to $125,000, these speakers made their debut at Miami Art Week 2025. The immersive installation, Echoes of Earth, was showcased during Art Basel Miami, supported by The Macallan and Bentley Motors. The founders focus on creating emotional experiences, viewing each piece as a unique instrument rather than merely a product.
