For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.


What are your favorite audio components and speakers based on the way they look (looked).  Yes, I know that sound is what counts and that is my major influence, but I do enjoy well designed/good looking products.   I no longer do, but did have a collection of art deco radios, both table models and consoles.....and that was all about design rather than their audiophile qualities.  Thanks

"...not to mention the aircraft I flew on to get there."

A pilot, or the designer, or the engineer(s)?
duckworp,

"...their minimalist design which had been part of their DNA since the 70s, was not embraced into wider product design until Johnny Ive created the iPod and Apple made the look ubiquitous."


I believe that Jony Ive "took cues" (plagiarized?) the design from Dieter Rahms rather than from Naim.

And then....Apple patented some of their shapes and even tried to protect the white color, I think.
