KOSMOS HEART
DECANTER
The old adage that
wine is good for
the heart is flipped
with this ticker-
shaped decanter
by Polish design
studio Kosmos
Project. Certain
vintages require
decanting for two
reasons: to remove
bitter-tasting
sediment that
has gathered in
the bottle, and to
introduce oxygen
to the liquid to help
develop its flavour
and aroma. The
more multifaceted
the design of the
decanter, the more
oxygen is trapped
in the receptacle
to aerate the wine.
The heart decanter
is thus perfectly
R&D come to
the fore with an
array of back-
to-back force-
balanced woofers,
“digital pure
path” amplifiers
and two pairs
of tweeters and
midrange drivers.
The speaker can
play and stream
music through a
variety of codecs
including aptX,
AirPlay, DLNA
and Wi-Fi, and a
corded optical/
aux input sits
alongside a wired
USB port that can
simultaneously
charge media
devices. It’s
available in six
colours, from
anthracite grey
to sunset red
(pictured), and the
attention to detail
is telling, down
to the individually
embroidered
volume controls
on the fascia.
