I would consider this one of the TOP5 designs for hi-fi components ever made.
Description
The Amplifyer no. 01 is a design study by HIVE, a design studio based in Sweden. It doesn't exist as a production product yet. HIVE created it as an exploration of what a hi-fi amplifier could look like when industrial design leads the brief, and they shared it with us to showcase together how product pages work on Pure Neo.
