Lyngdorf Audio, exclusively distributed by the Watershed Group in Canada has announced their Cue-100 speaker has won the world-renowned iF DESIGN AWARD for 2024.
Each year, the world’s oldest independent design organization, iF International Forum Design GmbH, organizes the iF DESIGN AWARD in Berlin. The competition this year received almost 11,000 entries from 72 countries and less than half of them made it to the final jury hall. The jury consisted of 132 independent experts from all over the world.
After passing the iF jury’s preselection in late 2023, two Cue-100 speakers were displayed as top finalists in the big iF jury hall in Berlin, to be scored over two weeks by the international 132-member design expert jury. In April 2024, Lyngdorf Audio received the official iF DESIGN AWARD 2024 for the Cue-100.
The jury recognized Lyndorf Audio’s use of high-end materials such as solid oak, satin-black or satin-white lacquered mdf and an all-around fabric cover from Danish specialist Gabriel. The Cue-100 scored well in offering 24 different color combinations, offering versatility to fit every living room and interior design and for the unique speaker shape that pays tribute to the country’s history of Danish modern design. “Not everyone has a room for listening only” stated Søren X. Frahm, Artlinco, co-designer of the Cue- 100, “this speaker is designed to be part of any home without any compromise in sound quality.
“We are delighted that the Cue-100 has won the internationally renowned iF DESIGN AWARD. This award emphasizes what we wanted to achieve when creating this loudspeaker: A statement not only in sound performance, but also in merging our acoustic expertise and the outstanding Purifi technology with a new and modern Danish speaker design” stated Roland Hoffmann, Product Marketing Director, Steinway Lyngdorf
“For me, it has been a very exciting and different design process compared to previous Lyngdorf projects, mostly because this design isn’t a traditional speaker but more like modern Danish furniture design. The manufacturing process has been exciting because of the different shape, but we haven’t made any compromises regarding the sound” added Brian Nielsen, Mechanical Design Engineer, Steinway Lyngdorf.
