If you're as meticulous about music and how it sounds as I am, you know the significance of the Bose 901 Speakers. To celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary, I collaborated with Bose to reimagine the speaker.
Since its debut in 1968, this speaker has stood as a pinnacle of audio engineering. For those that don’t know, the inception of the 901s was a result of Dr. Bose’s visionary pursuit to develop a speaker system that could replicate a live concert in his living room. They leveraged breakthrough technology that used a combination of both direct and reflecting sound to deliver the same immersive listening experience as live.
When Bose approached me with the opportunity to redesign the speaker, I knew I wanted to work with my good friend Mark Jupiter. Mark has handcrafted the furnishings in my home and in Kith stores around the world, and I couldn’t imagine a better person to bring a fresh perspective to this project.
Thank you, Jim, and the Bose team, for trusting me with my role as creative consultant and thank you Mark for continuously making my crazy ideas come to life.
