Swedish audio brand Nocs Lab has announced a new high-end speaker based on its flagship Monolith, and it's the Monolith x Aluminium (via our friends at Wallpaper). It looks like no other speaker: CNC-cut from a single block of aluminum and then sand-blasted and anodized, it "embodies a harmonious blend of minimalist design, audio excellence and environmental responsibility," according to Nocs Lab.
The environmental angle is clearly important to the firm: aluminum is recyclable, and using it in this version of the Monolith (there's another, larger version) enabled the firm to avoid the use of any plastics: that zen-like design means there's no unnecessary frills or wasted materials. Nocs Labs says it's also designed to be fully repairable too, to ensure an extra long life.
