Client:   KEF

Year Completed:   2011

KEF, British-based loudspeaker manufacturer with international distribution, has been virtually synonymous with loudspeaker innovation for five decades. In 2011, we were approached by the KEF design team to assist in finishing the design to allow for composite materials to be used for their unique new premium speaker, the KEF Blade.

Fibreglass Solutions worked seamlessly with the project’s designers to provide design-assistance, precision tooling and construct the slender 1.6 metre tall enclosures in GRP for shows and exhibitions. Glass-reinforced plastic was ideal for this project due to the inert and exceptionally rigid nature of the material that lends itself to forming the complex parabolic curves which help to eliminate any internal standing waves that might otherwise blur the output.

As functional as they are striking, we finished the KEF speakers in an array of colours: Piano Black, Snow White, Warm Metallic Grey, Light Metallic Silver, Racing Red, Frosted blue, Frosted Copper Black. This project serves as another great instance of our ability to actualize our client’s intentions and accomplish outstanding results that exceed expectations.
