Sony has won a Best of the Best Red Dot Award 2016 for its LSPX-S1 wireless glass sound speaker in the Consumer Electronics and Camera category.

The Glass Sound Speaker LSPX-S1's glass cylinder projects clear sound and illumination with a perceived circumference of 360 degrees. It can be controlled via a smartphone.

"The approach the Glass Sound Speaker LSPX-S1 takes to make music come alive and illuminate at the same time is impressive. This beautiful sound sculpture represents a successful symbiosis of outstanding appearance and high functionality. The design concept is highly convincing and has been perfectly implemented," said judges.

The Red Dot Award is one of the largest and most prestigious design awards in the world. In 2016, the award received a record 5,200 innovations from 57 nations. A jury panel of 41 international experts debated in Germany over three days to select the product designs that represent the best of design today.
