Playground Flagship Clothing Store

Playground is a high-end clothing store situated in the center of Prato, Italy, consisting of an open space furnished with few elements, handcrafted by local artisans using natural recycled materials. Interior designers Studio 10 were looking for a system to seamlessly integrate with the architecture and for owner and architect, Roberto Baccioni, it was love at first sight when he discovered K-array. The sound system has been divided into 4 zones, each with a different setup and each with the ability to select a different sound source and adjust volume and setup resulting in a evenly distributed dispersion for plesant musical background or louder occasions like DJ sets as the store often hosts. 

To cover the live music events, two active Pinnacle-KR102 portable systems have been installed. The background music was addressed by installing 4 ultra-mini Lyzard-KZ14 speakers that are hidden among the furniture and and paired with two high-efficiency Rumble-KU26 subs. The speakers are powered by a Kommander-KA24 amplifier in Class D with remote control DSP. The two systems can be played together for a combined diffusion of sound and give a clean and high quality result, perfectly in harmony with Playground's ethos.

I really adore technology, I love using it in my architecture projects and I think that it should be finalized to the achievement of a certain result. A great revelation, a brand that combines quality, a great performance, a simple installation procedure and an excellent sound.
