On the occasion of Hypebeast's 20th anniversary, and as part of its ongoing music initiative Stone Island Sound, Stone Island and Friendly Pressure—a bespoke sound system studio founded by Shivas Howard Brown in London—have created 5 pairs of lacquer and silver leaf-finished iterations of the Friendly Pressure PN1 speakers. The custom speakers are developed, assembled and finished in London with Friendly Pressure's proprietary crossover design ensuring phase accuracy and a wide listening field. The speakers are paired with the Bluesound Powernode Edge, a top of the line Wi-Fi streamer and amplifier that supports virtual streaming services. The Stone Island Sound collaborative speaker is the first consumer PN1 model available to purchase exclusively for Hypebeast's 20th anniversary.
The collaboration between Stone Island and Friendly Pressure reflects the Stone Island LAB & LIFE philosophy—where LAB represents the constant, rigorous, and boundless exploration of material transformation and innovation, and LIFE stands for the lived experience, identity, and perceived status of those who feel part of the Stone Island community.
Embracing Stone Island's continued commitment to contemporary culture, Stone Island Sound is an evolving music-oriented initiative. Built on the mantra, "Sound as a Form of Research," it reflects Stone Island's deep cultural roots and inclusive spirit, embracing a diverse global community.
