Haarlem, Netherlands - Kooduu, the Danish & Dutch owned lifestyle design and technology brand best known for its iconic speaker lamps that mix light, audio and Scandinavian design, is collaborating with HARMAN International, a global leader in audio technology. This collaboration brings together the essence of Danish design and the pinnacle of audio electronics expertise, promising to redefine the way consumers experience sound, lighting and indoor and outdoor furnishings in their everyday lives.
The result of the collaboration between Kooduu and HARMAN will be a series of innovative products that seamlessly blend Scandinavian design elegance with the superior audio quality of HARMAN's brand for embedded audio: Sound by JBL.
The first products of this collaboration were revealed earlier this year in Paris and are already available on the Kooduu website and on partner's stores in several countries: Kooduu Lite-up Play and Kooduu Lite-up Play Mini with Sound by JBL.
Simple, yet sophisticated, warm and inviting, the Lite-up Play and Lite-up Play Mini with Sound by JBL are a portable mix of mood lighting and outstanding sound wrapped in a Scandinavian design by globally awarded design studio Eskild Hansen Design, based in Copenhagen.
These premium speaker lamps elevate any interior to the next level. Thanks to their rechargeable battery and portable design, they can be used in any room or under the open sky to set the mood for aesthetic, joyful and relaxing times. They come in several colors, feature 5 levels of dimmable light, brass accents that exude elegance and a wooden handle and feet that enhance their portability. They are designed to be carried around the house and also brought outdoors.
Kooduu and HARMAN are working together on a new series of products that are expected to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2024: Kooduu Sensa Play and Kooduu Sensa Play Mini, a mushroom lamp with embedded Sound by JBL that features a slide dimmer. The speaker grill of the Kooduu Sensa Play and Sensa Play Mini will be on the lateral sides of the speaker lamp, making more visually prominent the audio experience delivered by Sound by JBL.
The collaboration between Kooduu and HARMAN signifies a convergence of vision and proficiency, merging Kooduu's dedication to spreading joy and togetherness through innovative products wrapped in Scandinavian design that invite people to set the mood wherever and whenever with JBL's aim to shape life's most memorable moments in the intersection of music and lifestyle plus HARMAN's unmatched audio engineering capabilities.
By amalgamating the best of Danish design traditions with decades of audio excellence, the collaboration aims to elevate the audiovisual experience for consumers globally.
"We are delighted to join forces with HARMAN to introduce a new era of integrated audio lighting products," says Steven Slijper, Partner and General Manager at Kooduu. "Our collaboration harmonizes the sophistication of Danish design with the audio prowess of HARMAN International, resulting in products that offer a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality."
The collaboration between Kooduu and HARMAN International promises to keep revolutionizing the way people experience sound and lighting in their homes and beyond.
