There is a fresh mindset for the new generation. We want a clean planet. We want clean health. We want a clean lifestyle. There is not much doubt that we need to transform our cities for the climate challenges. At the same time, we need the health issues brought under control. These actions demand a broad fellowship and sense of community - and that translates into much greater equality in society. But how does that translate into real action at the individual level? In STEEN

Research has shown that each individual brain has a unique thought pattern identity. NP8 researches totally new technology for communicating sound and controlling the sonic environment in a smart home of the future. NP8 is conceived to utilize new ground-breaking discoveries in creating our physical world. Just like in the Renaissance where science and art were seen as running in parallel, so too do we recognize that high science and high aesthetics are beginning to give the

Offentliggjort den 18. maj 2021 Af STRUER LYDENS BY “Jeg tror, det er tid til at bringe produktionen tilbage til Europa og især til Danmark. Det er også meget vigtigt med hensyn til klimaudfordringerne, at vi producerer mere regionalt, skaber arbejdspladser i Europa og også bringer know-how tilbage til Danmark igen” Frederick Rickmann Grundlægger, STEENSSEN 2020 har været et hårdt år, og det har det også været for højtalerfirmaet STEENSSEN. Fra at være stærkt afhængige af Kin

Patience is a virtue they say. But being impatient to get things done is also a strong driving force. Also in this case. Our STEENSSEN pre-order fans and our sales organisation have been really patient and trustful. That is something we respect a lot. And because of that we are being totally honest and open about our exciting story. In STEENSSEN NEO we are bringing together the latest cutting-edge technology with a move to use the best sustainable materials. And as if that wa

Published on 14. January 2020 By City of Sound The fact that you are reading this story right now is a testament to how newsworthy it is when a company decides to move production from Asia to Struer. STEENSSEN is one of those companies, and today founder Frederick Rickmann is having a meeting with his future suppliers. Walking into the building wearing his beige trenchcoat bringing his notebook, Frederick Rickmann is a man on a mission, and today the mission is to help his su

Published on 2. January 2020 By City of Sound Frederick Rickmann is a man with a plan. He set out on a mission to show the world what Danish design can be, now he wants to give people good sound quality at an affordable price, and he wants to do it all in Struer. He looks busy as he extends his right arm in order to shake hands while still partly glancing at the phone in his left hand. It might not be so strange if you take his background into account, though. A quick glance

I hope that the world famous NOMA restaurant in Copenhagen won't take offence at this blog. For several years NOMA was declared the Best Restaurant in the World by the magazine "Restaurant" and quite fittingly it has two Michelin stars. It rose to prominence through a concept that re-invented and redefined Nordic cuisine, perhaps forever. The founders, René Redzepi and Claus Meyer pioneered the ideas of purity, freshness, simplicity and ethically sourcing ingredients from its

Nordic cuisine and restaurants have become world renowned over the past many years and have been recognized through a spreading number of Michelin awards. Indeed for many years, the Copenhagen restaurant NOMA was seen as being the best restaurant in the world. Central to the concept of the new cuisine is the New Nordic Food Manifesto. The movement was pioneered in the 2000s by a stream of Scandinavian chefs including Danish chef Claus Meyer. The manifesto is built around the

It’s true, isn't it, that much of the automation and AI in our smart devices makes it easier for us to use them. On the other hand, it is also true that all those algorithms make us, the users, a good bit dumber. The assumption of many smart interface engineers is that ease of use is the same as making things idiot proof. But what that really does is to take the skills and human judgement away from the pleasure of using the product. The way we designed STEENSSEN products like

No less than 25 years ago, the loudspeaker called Facette was designed for Dynaudio by Frederick Rickmann - the founder of STEENSSEN. It was immediately a design icon in the world of hifi because the triangular shape was great for sound quality. The exquisite edge details also seemed to predate the coming of flat screen tv's. Somehow the geometry of the speakers, defined a line in space. So although the speaker had depth, it appeared to be elegantly thin. These photos are of

If we are to achieve or even come close to the climate targets our governments have set, then the Circular Economy in some form is going to take a part. At its heart, the Circular Economy consists of the sensible idea of eliminating waste in materials, energy and resources. The concept encourages developing new kinds of products that last for much longer than they do today. In addition there is emphasis on the by-products of one process being the raw materials for another man

A few years ago, my CO2 footprint was an environmental catastrophe. Not on the earth mind you, but in the air. Where it matters. I enjoyed flying. And by that I mean, not even in small regional jets, but in the really big ones. Boeing Mega-tops and the like and on long distances. And to make matters a whole lot worse, I was not crammed into Economy. Or even Economy Plus. Sorry, but my seat was high up and let's say, well in front of the engines. (I warned you, that you wouldn
