Nimbre Field · 360° speaker

Sound with no front.

One quiet object that fills the whole room. Knit, aluminium, and a ring of light you play with a fingertip.

Scroll

01 · Halo

Turn the light to turn it up.

Slide a finger round the halo to set the volume; tap the glass to pause. The light shows the level, then fades.

02 · Knit

One seamless knit. Nothing to buzz.

Knitted in one piece from recycled yarn: open to sound, soft to the hand, no seams and no glue.

03 · Sound

The same sound from every chair.

An upward woofer and six tweeters throw sound all the way round. No front, no sweet spot.

04 · Foot

Grounded.

A machined aluminium foot over a passive radiator, weighted so the bass stays where you put it.

Introducing Field

Most speakers point at you. Field points everywhere, so you can put it in the middle of the room, on a shelf or by the bed, and the room just sounds bigger.

Finishes

Signal

Signal-orange knit, natural aluminium.

The yarn is dyed before it is spun, so the colour goes all the way through and won't fade in a sunny window.

Materials

Two materials, done properly.

Macro of a fine sage-green knitted textile

The knit

A three-dimensional knit, made in one piece on a flat-bed machine. Sound passes straight through; dust doesn't settle in it.

Macro of a bead-blasted aluminium edge with a polished chamfer

The aluminium

Crown and foot are each machined from a single billet, bead-blasted and anodised, with a polished chamfer that catches the light.

Spools of recycled yarn in off-white, sage, charcoal and orange on a workshop table
Every sleeve starts as recycled yarn, in the four finishes.

At home

Made for rooms, not shelves.

Sound that doesn't care where you sit means Field can live wherever there is a surface.
