Conserving the iconic Altec A7 'Voice of the theatre' speakers. Original Altec speaker components were sourced worldwide. Plans for the original Altec A7 boxes were drawn and converted in CAD. The initial box was then CNC cut and constructed in Birch Ply applying strengthening biscuits to all joins. The box design was then again enhanced in mirror polished stainless steel piece by piece to the substrate. A project inspired by sound and the art of speakers applying design in the materials of Inox Stainless Steel.
