Standing on genuine oak legs and ringed with sleek aluminium, Bang & Olufsen’s design-led speaker has proven popular since its launch in 2012. The 5th generation is future proofed with the brand’s Mozart software, but boasts the same polish that made its earlier versions so well-loved.

 ‘It’s the details that make this speaker such a beautiful piece in its own right – like sliding your finger across its surface to increase the volume,’ says Pip Rich.

BEST TV - winner:  Iconic by Loewe

The Iconic delivers as a statement design piece as well as a functional TV,
thanks to its concrete aesthetic, made using a highly durable, hygienic and recyclable material called Syno-Stone.

 ‘It’s great to see tech embracing more sustainable ways of creating new products – and when they look this good, it’s easy to get on board with,’ says Hugh Metcalf.

Balancing form and functionality, this powerful piece of tech can be used
as a cordless handstick, hand-held and upright vacuum cleaner. It also features a
HEPA Lifetime Filter. 

‘As cleaning tech becomes more sophisticated, we’re also looking for designs that are pleasing to the eye – and the slimline shape of this vacuum fits the bill,’ says Ellen Finch.
