The aesthetics of the Lumina could fit as happily in the organic warmth of any Frank Loyd Wright house as in the disciplined and ordered simplicity of a van der Roe design. While Sonus faber’s own description of the Lumina invokes the core tenets of minimalism – less is more – I see them to be a contemporary expression of Modernism – ‘a global movement in society and culture that from the early decades of the twentieth century sought a new alignment with the experience and values of modern industrial life.’ Sonus faber are masters of the format and have achieved something both unique and remarkable with the new Lumina I There is a certain purity in a small two way speaker system that can bring out the best in designers. Genuinely made in Italy in Sonus faber’s own Vincenza factory, the Lumina I’s take the best of their heritage and technology to give you a completely modern compact speaker that is engaging, exciting and enduring. Sonus faber accurately articulate the story behind the Lumina range with their videos and site information and I’ve found the actual speakers deliver everything they suggest and more. The Lumina I is a speaker you can choose to buy with confidence.
