clearly stylish

clear speakers monitor clearly stylishWhen you’re decorating a small space, clear Lucite furniture like the Louis Ghost Armchair or IKEA’s Tobias chair (which I have in my kitchen) is a great option because it doesn’t take up too much visual space. So why not carry that philosophy through to other items in your home, like computers and speakers? I like Dell’s Crystal 22-inch LCD monitor, which will look smashing atop any desk. And can you imagine how sexy your home office would be if you paired it with Ferguson Hill’s über-sleek FH007 Mini Speaker System (which sounds great by the way)?

RIGHT FH007 Mini Speaker system (includes two 17-inch-high horn speakers, two eight-inch-round bass speakers, and 6-inch cube amplifier). Also connects to iPods and most stereo systems. Price: $549.99. Available at: Ferguson Hill.

geometry of sound

geometric speakers1 geometry of soundSpeakers have come a long way since those big ugly black boxes — we’re no longer limited to squares. I like the mod spheres of Orb Audio’s Classic Two Stereo Speaker and the futuristic eye shape of Bang & Olufsen’s BeoLab 4000. Both are small in size but big in sound, plus they come in a variety of colours.

LEFT Classic Two Stereo Speaker in Metallic Black Gloss (also available in Pearl White Gloss, Mettalum Hand-Polished Steel, Metallum Hand-Antiqued Copper and Metallum Hand-Antiqued Bronze). Price: $698 US per speaker system (includes two speakers and a subwoofer). Available at: Orb Audio.

RIGHT BeoLab 4000 in red (also available in black, white, silver, dark grey, yellow and blue). Price: $2,800 per pair. Available at: Bang & Olufsen.

candy-coloured computer speakers

edifier e3350 speakers candy coloured computer speakersBuilt-in computer speakers aren’t known for their audio quality, which is why, if you spend any time at all watching online videos or listening to tunes while you work, it’s worth it to invest in a decent subwoofer and speaker set. I like Edifier’s E3350 for its clean design and the shot of colour it will add to any home office set-up. Bonus: it includes a headphone jack and an input for MP3 players.

Price: $99
