Things to go see/ hear in New York City the @cooperhewitt Smithsonian Design Museum -
Art of Noise shows how design shapes the way we experience music — how and where we listen to it, how it’s communicated visually, and what we choose to hear.
Art Of Noise | exhibition @cooperhewitt
Last weekend attending this thoughtfully curated exhibition showcasing how we experience music and sound overtime through over 100+ objects from the lens of design.

Immersion, beyond the visual.
@devonojas doesn’t just build speakers, he creates unforgettable experiences. The smooth sound of Ojas’ custom hi-fi system invites listeners to slow down and hear music as if it were live, in the room.
For Art of Noise at the iconic @cooperhewitt, Turnbull merges design and music to craft a one-of-a-kind experience. From jazz to ambient to classical, the Carnegie Library space comes alive with sound, leaving every visitor with a memory that lingers.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind sound experience.

Sound made visible ⚡️
Ferguson Hill redefines what high-end audio can be by giving sound a physical presence. Founded in 2003 by former aeronautical engineer Timothy Hill, the studio began with a radical idea: that performance and form should be inseparable. That thinking led to the FH001 - the world’s first front-loaded horn dipole loudspeaker - and a completely new visual language for audio design.
Every Ferguson Hill system is driven by the same principles: precision engineering, acoustic purity, and absolute design integrity. Transparent acrylic horns, sculpted bass spheres and meticulously tuned components work together to create a listening experience that is immersive, spatial and alive - sound experienced not just through the ears, but through space itself.
Designed, engineered and assembled in Britain, each system is handcrafted and rigorously tested. These are not hidden speakers, but sculptural objects in their own right - built for collectors who value innovation, performance and beauty in equal measure.
Ferguson Hill sits at the intersection of engineering and art - proof that when sound is treated as sculpture, listening becomes an experience.
