Our new partnership with HAY reimagines Sonos One with the Danish brand’s contemporary approach to color, exploring the relationship between sound and design in the home.

For Sonos, design has always been a multisensory endeavour. Sure, we’re obsessive about crafting the ultimate room-filling sound experience, but we care just as much about the way our products fit into people’s lives visually. So it’s only natural that we recently undertook a unique collaboration with the Danish design brand HAY.

Today we’re excited to announce the first result of this partnership: The HAY Sonos One Limited Edition Collection, a set of speakers that reimagines the Sonos One in a new range of colors—red, yellow and green—taken from HAY’s 2018 palette. Together, HAY and Sonos are exploring the relationship between sound and color in the home.

“Our speakers aren’t designed to claim attention but to blend naturally into their surroundings,” says Sonos VP of Design Tad Toulis. Even with the addition of colors to the typically black-and-white Sonos product line, the new HAY Sonos One still manages to maintain that aesthetic subtlety.

A leader in home design, HAY is internationally renowned for their contemporary yet accessible aesthetic, sophisticated manufacturing and bold use of color. “Color is one of the most important tools in the design process, and it was very important we didn’t just create a color scale that looked beautiful,” says HAY co-founder and creative director Mette Hay. “Colors can hide completely and disappear or provide contrast.”
