About Silence Please

A speaker design studio transformed its former art gallery into a listening chamber where high-fidelity sound meets Japanese tea culture. Black leather modular seating surrounds sculptural speakers, vinyl records line the walls, and a tatami corner hosts occasional tea ceremonies. Come when you want the city to slow down.
