GENESIS
Horgonic arises from a research project focused on a totem able to represent, as we explore it with our eyes and ears, a synthesis of life, its light flow and the gentle gaze on paths, roads, cities, temples, colours, its warmness and transparencies but also the dark side of existence.
This stimulating and retrieving experience leads us to reflect, through the observation of our attitudes, competences and desire to do, a flashback on what can be made from essential materials, combining patience, creativity, commitment and imagination with manual know-how.
PRODUCT
Horgonic is the first model in a series of thermionic valve emotional and morphocromatic amplifiers, created to propagate music both in digital and analog format.
In future versions the design will pursue the original concept, extending IoT (internet of things) functionalities and APP media center.
Design and technology merge into one single object: Horgonic, an emotional amplifier that propagates music both from analog and digital sources, from vinyl to high quality web streaming.
THE TECHNOLOGY
The sound of a tubes amplifier is very warm, and above all it’s natural and intrinsic in this type of device. It play different and alternative from the most used silicon/transistor components. The thermionic valve (or vacuum tube) was the first man-made active electronic component. “Active” means that the component provides an amplified output power signal thanks to an external source of energy. The overall functioning is simple: electric energy passes between two electrodes (the anode and the cathode); depending on the voltage at which some metallic parts (grids) are placed between the two electrodes, the cathode emits electrons by thermionic effect, i.e. by heating.
WE LISTEN TO MUSIC WITH OUR HEARTS, IT'S AN EMOTIONAL WAVE WE RIDE WITH ALL OUR SENSE
A specefull house where the bouncing notes of jazz could be blown gently, soundtrack of our moments out of this word.
An old-fashioned love, made of ROMANTICISM, SEDUCTION AND MUSIC, in the undivided spaceof our house.
I sipped a glass of white wine, he checked his sax once more, before starting to play. We looked into each other's eyes and have never stopped since. It was a swing tune.

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY MERGE INTO ONE SINGLE OBJECT: HORGONIC

“Make your own idea alive in one object”, this is the concept that inspired its realization. The hand-made manipulation of the electronic components, makes Horgonic an evocative piece of art with a specific functionality: high fidelity music listening.

Electronic Tubes give off heat, heat is love, it’s life. Wires simulate the map of paths where anyone’s gaze can wander through the limpidity of the methacrylate or crystal slabs.
The lines recall 70s Pop Art. A vintage design exalted by a retro touch that aims to an essential and neat design, underlined by the use of original Electronic Tubes from the 50s, used as active components to amplify music in class A to obtain excellent sound performances.
The manual assembly of the electronic components “on air” is unique in its kind, and the special audio transformers are completely handcrafted, without the help of automatic machines.

Horgonic, through its container inspired to Reich’s orgone box (Freud’s disciple), allows a multisensory fruition of music, combining its peculiar technical, aesthetic and functional features with the emission of lights and colors projected though the methacrylate or crystal slabs.
These light effects creates a blue reflection that underlines the rhythm during the psychedelic listening. Horgonic is morphocromatic , and thanks to the limpidity of its slabs it dresses the shades of colour of the surfaces on which it is placed, in a non-invasive way compared to the commercial in the box metal amplifiers.

CAPTIVATING, IRRIVERENT, COZY
Over the city hustle. The song of our heart, The transparencies, a perfect atmosphere with old friends.
A special and cozy ambience, The warm tones of horgonic's tubes, harmony of words and undestanding, circuits of pure energy and happiness.
Love of art, aesthetics, beauty. Desing is not only functionality, it also has to arouse emotions, tell a story.
Horgonic, through its unique design, tells us of Italy’s craftsmanship, engineering and creativity.
