Beyond Camouflage: Samsung to Debut 'Music Studio 5' Art Speaker at CES 2026
Samsung partners with Erwan Bouroullec for the Music Studio 5, a speaker that doubles as an art piece, set to debut at CES 2026. Discover the new era of sculptural tech.
Samsung's done hiding its speakers behind picture frames. At CES 2026, the tech giant is flipping the script: its latest audio gear isn't just a speaker—it's a masterpiece. For years, the company focused on tech that blended into the background, but the upcoming Music Studio line claims center stage as a sculptural statement.
From Camouflage to Centerpiece
According to Samsung, the shift marks a departure from its famous 'hidden' designs like The Frame TV and the Music Frame. Instead of disguising a speaker as art, the company teamed up with renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec to turn the device itself into a work of art. The result is a fusion of acoustic engineering and high-end industrial design.
The Bouroullec Aesthetic: Music Studio 5
The Music Studio 5, the flagship of the new line, draws inspiration from the 'timeless dot concept.' Drawing parallels to music theory, the design mimics a fermata—the symbol representing a pause or a sustained note. This artistic work by Bouroullec aims to create a visual silence that complements the sound it produces, making it as much a treat for the eyes as for the ears.
