The LightVision headset designed by LAYER for Resonate – which launched at Art Basel Miami – uses the cutting-edge science of neural entrainment to make traditional meditation techniques easier, accessible, and more effective. The headset features an LED light matrix that translates videos of the natural world – such as fish swimming underwater, or trees moving in the breeze – into an ever-changing sequence of biomorphic patterns that are visible through closed eyes and proven to activate the brain’s frequency-following response.

LAYER designed two modular sofa systems for Croatian furniture brand prostoria ltd – Sabot and Rostrum. The two collections strike a balance between domestic design language cues and hyper-modular functional seating to cater for both residential and office environments. Sabot is a playful arrangement of abstract volumes supported by characterful timber feet that are a celebration of Prostoria’s woodworking capability; while Rostrum features a linear language emphasised by the ribbed detail of the dividing screens.

Beosound Emerge, designed by LAYER for Bang & Olufsen , is a super slim, sculptural speaker with a small footprint that belies its impressive acoustic output. As with many of the technological products we design at LAYER, Beosound Emerge is designed to subvert expectations. We turned to the world of home interiors for inspiration and developed a palette that celebrates tactile, natural materials such as timber and textile. The result is a high-performance speaker that stands out in a market saturated with more conventional formats and materiality.

The Aura 2 projector – designed by LAYER for XGIMI Technology – features a discrete fabric-wrapped form. This minimalist design language challenges the visual dominance of the conventional “black box” television in our living spaces and the high-performance language of traditional technology products – an approach that LAYER pioneered and has become known for. The next-generation Aura 2 takes this approach even further with a motorised element that conceals the lens when the projector is not in use to transform the tech product into a sculptural objet d’art for the home.

Aura 2 is a three-in-one home entertainment system – which combines projection, audio, and smart TV – that was designed by LAYER for XGIMI Technology Aura 2, features a highly engineered motorised cover that effortlessly folds up when the projector is in use and folds down to protect the lens when not in use.
