The Rhapsody Speaker From Sonoforma Stands Out and Blends In

The power of sound is somewhat understated in our image-heavy culture, color and texture a huge part of how we understand design. Yet the tactile and audial are just as important, offering a depth of feeling - a responsiveness that is more than visual, it is somatic. A felt reverberation of sound, and the tactile qualities of it, are central to understanding Rhapsody, a new speaker from Canadian brand Sonoforma. Doubling as a guitar cabinet, founder Mike Nopper makes furniture for musicians, tuning in to the specific wants and needs of some of our most particular hobbyists and professionals. For audiophiles, speaker systems are a serious and complex issue. Rhapsody understands this importance: it's built to work like gear, and live like furniture.
