What do you get when you combine Spotify’s lossless audio with an ambient interior and a killer stereo setup fit for only the most prestigious listening sessions? You get the new Spotify Listening Lounge, of course — which I had the pleasure of visiting.
In the heart of central London at Spotify’s headquarters, the music platform has unveiled a new purpose-built space for intentional and focused listening. Overseen by Billie Baier, Co-Head of Marketing for Spotify U.K. & Ireland, the Spotify team has collaborated with loudspeaker design studio Friendly Pressure, founded by Shivas Howard-Brown, and Hugh Scott Moncrieff from design studio Cake Architecture to build a permanent listening space from the ground up.
