DNgroup HQ, STEENSSEN, 70MEDiA and AFR Thinking Urban have moved from this great downtown location in Aarhus - to a really creative environment in Horsens, Denmark. The new location gives not only the right surroundings for an innovative team but also a much reduced carbon footprint. See you in Horsens!!! #DNgroupHQ #ReflectionsOfTheTimes #Aarhus #Horsens #Denmark #AFR #ThinkingUrban #UrbanPlan #CityPlanning #UrbanDesign #BlueAndOtherShapes #architect #FrederickRickmann #70ME

ARSA - Ambient Responsive Sonic Architecture is an acoustic system developed by STEENSSEN where the architecture of the internal structure of the cabinets and the array of driver units gives a time-lapse dispersal of the sound you are listening to so that you get a more natural surround effect when listening. ARSA also takes into account that you may be using a flat tv screen above the unit so that sound waves travel up behind the tv and reach your ears giving a deeper and mo

The capital of Catalonia offers many sight like this one. Glass and steel juxtaposed with brick. A great example of future rooted into the past. #Barcelona #Catalonia #CulturalSustainability #AFR #ThinkingUrban #UrbanPlan #UrbanDesign #BlueAndOtherShapes #architect #FrederickRickmann #70MEDiA #DNgroup #1234Design #Denmark #arkitekt #Danmark #建築師 #出版社 #帝山諾 #丹麥設計

One of the striking things about these present times is that the pandemic has made us realize that individually we are important. Everyone. Keeping distance, using protection, washing hands and being aware of others are all things that we can do as persons. And our behaviour individually creates a solution that brings benefits to the entire community and indeed the whole planet. This strong sense of individual action in response to the Corona virus is in contrast to how we be

Several STEENSSEN followers have raised the interesting question that there doesn't appear to be tweeter drivers included in the new NEO series. A tweeter is the speaker unit that produces high pitch tones, tones like a high guitar riff, violin tones and sounds link bird songs. Tweeters are very normal in high quality hifi products and so the question is quite natural for STEENSSEN's new product line. Without disclosing too many confidential details at this stage, we can reve

Through the thick fog of today's politics and the blurry picture of fake and real news there is a golden thread emerging. You could almost say that it’s could even be a sign of better things to come. The pandemic we are dealing with right now, and the climate challenge we are beginning to fix, seem to share very similar solutions. Well of course a planetary virus and global warming are nothing like the same issue. But what they do have in common is that they force us to rethi

Bob Dylan didn't get the Nobel Prize for literature just because he wrote catchy song lyrics. He was awarded the international accolade because he could express the spirit of a generation. He is still doing so. The "wheel is still in spin" for COVID-19, the global climate and for righting the inequalities that still separate people. The times, they still have to change. More so than ever. The way we do things, the way we make the products that surround us and they way we thin

For thousands of years, the art of lacquer has been perfected in Japan and in the Orient. Originally the oil from the Urushi tree (漆の木) was used to create this magical and yet robust natural finish. Now other methods are used, but the craft of lacquering is still a well-honed art form, that is difficult to achieve in Europe. Fast forwarding now to the 21st century, the AIR audio system from STEENSSEN uses this very sustainable technique to add beauty to sound. The deep gloss

Its exciting to be a front-runner. But frustrating as well. The right product at the WRONG time is a dilemma that haunts many a break-through. The job of a designer is to think well ahead - to be living a good few years in the future. The reason is that it takes a good many years to develop new products and solutions and then also to bring them to public attention. We have to be miles ahead of the market. The downside is that many products that could have been really awesome
