The company incorporate Purifi aluminium speaker drivers in the uniquely presented cabinet, finished in satin-white or satin-black, with solid oak elements. You then have the choice of five fabric covers by Gabriel of Denmark – Grey, Black, Petrol Blue, Dusty Green, and Red – making this a treat for lovers of style as well as sound.
