Vifa Copenhagen
A Danish wireless and portable speaker with a minimalist design, featuring an aluminium chassis and Kvadrat textile trim, for refined listening on the move.
Description
The Copenhagen is a wireless and portable speaker from the Danish brand Vifa. Designed by Henrik Mathiassen, it takes on a minimalist and pared-back shape, conceived to fit as naturally into an interior as it does to accompany listening while travelling.
Its matt polished aluminium chassis houses a set of 6 speakers arranged as 2 tweeters, 2 midranges and 2 woofers. This three-way configuration aims for detailed reproduction across the whole spectrum, with bass described as deep and powerful despite the speaker's compact format.
The volume dial stands out for its woven wool covering, produced by Kvadrat, one of the world's leading textile manufacturers. This choice of material underlines the design-led approach of the object, where the physical control becomes an aesthetic element in its own right rather than a simple switch.
This speaker is aimed at a user attentive to Scandinavian design and the quality of materials, seeking a portable audio solution capable of being displayed in a living room as much as travelling with them. The portable format and considered aesthetic make it as much a functional as a decorative object.
What to check before buying used
The Kvadrat wool-covered volume potentiometer is a sensitive point: its texture flattens or becomes clogged with use, and a crackling contact or uneven travel indicates wear that should be tested before purchase. Also check that all six speakers respond without distortion or crackling across the full volume range, particularly at the low frequencies of the woofers. The matt aluminium chassis may show micro-scratches or localised oxidation that alter the original finish. Finally, test the wireless connection (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending on the version) to rule out any pairing issues or reduced range.
