Showcasing Invisible Audio in Harrods
Situated on the fifth floor of Harrods within the Technology Centre, the Cinema Luxe Lounge is a stunning demonstration space designed to demonstrate high-end audio-visual systems to Harrods clientele. Created by The Faraday Club, the space serves as a curated technology showcase where innovation, design, and performance converge. At its core is the integration of Amina’s Sapphire range of invisible speakers, delivering a fully invisible cinematic environment without visible audio hardware. The installation was created to educate and inspire customers, many of whom may not be familiar with invisible audio technology, while offering a tangible, high-impact demonstration of the audio capabilities.
The Cinema Luxe Lounge features multiple Amina Sapphire invisible speakers, a range engineered to be completely concealed within walls or ceilings. Installed behind finished surfaces, these speakers drive sound through the material itself, transforming walls into beautiful sound sources without compromising interior aesthetics.
The Faraday Club curated the environment to highlight this technology, combining advanced audio engineering with high-end cinema seating, lighting design, and displays. The room has been acoustically optimised to ensure the Sapphire speakers deliver peak performance, providing clarity, depth, and spatial accuracy across a range of media.
By eliminating visible speakers, discerning homeowners can create a minimalist, luxurious aesthetic, allowing the focus to remain on the overall experience rather than the equipment.
The Faraday club is a collaboration of multiple companies that are experts in the field of Cinema design, Interior design, AV integration, controls and audio. This means each discipline is built upon the solid foundation of the next, stunning interiors are not impacted by unsightly technology, incredible sound is delivered by tuning the interiors for optimum listening and everything is tied together by intuitive, capable controls. Harmonious living.
The installation required close collaboration between designers, integrators, and audio specialists to ensure the invisible speakers from Amina were correctly embedded within the architectural structure. Wall and ceiling finishes were carefully selected with consideration to their acoustic properties while aligning with Harrods’ premium design standards.
The Amina Sapphire range was chosen for its superior performance in invisible audio applications, offering high-frequency detail and balanced sound suitable for cinematic playback. Strategic placement of the speakers ensures even coverage throughout the room, creating a fully immersive soundstage.
The experience is presented as a dedicated demonstration, where visitors can book sessions or explore the space as part of their visit to the Technology Centre. Demonstrations are tailored to showcase the system’s dynamic range, subtlety and power.
Results
The Cinema Luxe Lounge successfully demonstrates that high-performance audio no longer requires unsightly hardware. Visitors experience a premium cinema environment where sound appears to originate naturally from the space itself, enhancing realism and immersion.
This new technology experience at Harrods exemplifies the future of audio-visual integration, where technology enhances rather than dominates interior spaces. Through the use of Amina Sapphire invisible speakers, The Faraday Club has created a compelling environment that blends innovation with luxury.
