Sfera – pair of space-age speakers

It was 1957 when the first artificial satellite, called Sputnik, was launched into space. This event marked the start of the space and technology race, sparking a genuine rivalry between Russia and the USA. As early as the beginning of the 1950s, there was a sense of enthusiasm and optimism towards technology, and confidence in the near future, so much so that many consumer sectors were influenced by it: fashion, music, cinema, architecture and, of course, interior design with the Space Age style that would take you ‘to infinity and beyond!’.

During this era, spherical shapes predominated in most decorations and lighting, but also in chairs and armchairs, bookcases and coffee tables. Often, when several spheres were connected, they explicitly evoked the shape of the atom and, of course, the Sputnik satellite. The same applied to upholstery and rounded forms. The entertainment sector was no exception, and brands such as Weltron, Brionvega and Wega, to name but a few, rode the wave.

The speakers presented here are single-way, full-range models that hark back to that very era. They are typically constructed from plastic with a metal grille. A cable of approximately 1.5 m runs directly from the speakers with point-to-line terminals, a connection method that was state-of-the-art at the time of their release.

In excellent cosmetic and working condition.
