Design for manufacture
The Formation Suite represents a new direction for Bowers & Wilkins. The aim: to have the sound reproduction quality of a wired system, but without the wires. The Duos are the flagship speakers in the range. Classic design elements that define Bowers & Wilkins' visual identity have been updated to create an elegant, striking and refined form.
Within tight constraints for the acoustics, the electronics and heat management, the design not only improves the acoustic performance, but also incorporates a raft of new technologies. Goodwin Hartshorn worked in collaboration with the acoustic engineers on this four-year project to create a market-leading product which will redefine Bowers & Wilkins for years to come.
