Consumer electronics brands often come up with fancy new ways to describe their latest design trends but they are often little more than meaningless terms and do nothing to describe the influences or inspiration behind them. Sony's new 'Monolith' design concept though is different, and the reasons are obvious they very first time you see them.
Take a look at even the low height entry level Blu-ray player, the Sony BDP-S370, and the sharp edges and clean front interface immediately look very stylish and true to their simple monolith inspiration. View the bigger Sony BDV-E370 Blu-ray home cinema system and it is even more obvious, and even more attractive. Both these devices have a USB socket on the front, but while it may spoil the clean lines a little, Sony have incorporated it very well indeed and the overall design still looks coherent.
We often don't talk enough about design, and although many brands like Samsung and some of the high end brands have always put a high emphasis on the styling of their products, it is nice to see one of the biggest brands in Sony coming up with one of the truly great design in recent years.
