With the cost of timber rising, not to mention the environmental implications, REGA was searching for an alternative material that could be manufactured in the UK. Together, we created a specialist re-usable mould that we combined with a bespoke Glass fibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) mix containing high amounts of GGBS. Using GRC allowed us to streamline the concrete thickness to 8mm leading to a 50% reduction in concrete and cement. It also minimises the product’s carbon impact.

Based on years of trials and development, this technique offers benefits beyond sustainability: the lightweight surround blends impressive structural integrity while enhancing performance to deliver better sound quality than traditional speakers.

And it looks good too! The stunning design is a streamlined 900mm tall with a custom concrete colour that effortlessly complements the steel grey speaker panel. The finish retains Lazenby’s trademark elegance with subtle variations making each product — over 1500 made so far — truly one-of-a-kind.

The REGA AYA loudspeakers offer game-changing sound with an elegant blend of technology, style and our iconic concrete craftsmanship.
