Re-sounding the Home\/ Yuri Suzuki\u2019s exhibition Furniture Music<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

If we were to take a look at how design has evolved \u2018sonically\u2019, the first place that we could begin at is our homes, endowed with rich auditory information of the devices, products and appliances that they contain.<\/p>\n

In the exhibition \u2018Furniture Music\u2019<\/a> (2018), Yuri Suzuki\u00a0 digs deeper into sounds embedded in our indoor environments and their affect on us while proposing a redesign of the domestic soundscape. The title of the show held in London comes from French composer Eric Satie\u2019s description of his music as \u2018a sound that should not be actively listened to, but present at the periphery of our daily lives\u2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

As technologies get quieter and \u2018smarter\u2019, the listening environments that they compose, change.\u00a0 Suzuki\u2019s sonic interventions include a\u00a0 kettle that plays music through its spout when it\u2019s boiling, a blender with subtle non-disruptive hums, a singing washing machine and a dining table with an acoustic chamber\u00a0 to amplify the sounds on its surface, generating an ever-evolving ambient scape.<\/p>\n

Through ideas that transform the all-pervasive buzzing, whirring and humming of household artefacts, Suzuki not only triggers conversations<\/a> around the experience of \u2018sounds\u2019 in products and interfaces but also speculates upon the future of design for the home, hinting at the sonic turn that it is bound to take.<\/p>\n
