GLA-55 Design
"Since crystals are solid and speakers are essentially hollow, the challenge was to create the illusion of solid crystal in a form that is mostly comprised of air", says Kurt Solland, Vice President Design at Harman.
The technique used for the GLA-55 comes from a lapidary cutting technique called concave faceting that amplifies light return to the eye as well as simulating a higher refractive index of a material like a diamond. The glistening components of the speaker seem to come alive when the reflection of the room is intermixed like a kaleidoscope. The effect the GLA-55 produces is like painting with light and transforms each individual interior into an art installation.
