The award-winning Homage collection enters the next generation. Iconic Sonus faber design pays tribute to the titans of music history. Trailblazing technology brings the sensation of live music to every listening space. Homage melds modern artistry with cutting-edge innovation to elevate the listening experience to new heights.
Sonus faber is proud to announce the revival of its iconic and award-winning Homage Collection, showcased in the premiere of 4 new products.
The extension of the current collection highlights Sonus faber’s deep Italian heritage, commitment to its artisans’ craftsmanship, and progression of the brand’s product collection, paying tribute to the musical instruments that inspired the collection’s creation. The collection honors the genius of the talented creators of musical instruments and the lute making tradition with roots in Cremona, Italy.
Famous Italian families including Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari sought to achieve the highest recognition and achievement in their craft, creating timeless works of art cherished for their perfection in sound and desired for their sublime beauty. Inspired by the genius of those creators and by their perfect technique and intuitions, Sonus faber developed their Homage speakers, blending performance technology with uncompromising, natural materials and refined design to achieve a sensorial experience of the highest quality.
“The most complex, but also exciting moment for a designer is when he is called upon to improve a timeless icon,” said Chief of Design, Livio Cucuzza. “How do you innovate a product whose image is immune to the passage of time and the changing fashion trends? The only way is to take a step back, reflect and deeply understand why that product was initially created. I faced this challenge straight on with my team at Sonus faber. The third generation of Homage was the first product I worked on, and the latest launch we are unveiling is the fifth – the most evolved, the most mature, but equally authentic and special. A story that repeats itself, crossing the evolutionary path in different stages of my own life, never ceasing to fascinate me and make me proud to be part of it.”
The extension of the Homage Collection will be represented in 4 models available in 3 finishes – red, wenge and graphite. The new models feature the brand’s latest INTONO Technology, new phase coherent philosophy, a new phase plug and the latest innovation in woofer design.
- Guarneri (5th generation)
- Serafino (2nd generation)
- Amati (5th generation)
- Vox (3rd generation)
The new Homage Collection will be available through authorized Sonus faber Dealers beginning January 2023.
