About

Simon Ghahary is a British designer, artist, and brand architect based in Long Beach, California. His work spans industrial design, visual art, music, and the emerging field of sound-as-architecture—a practice built on the conviction that sound is not decoration but structure.

In 1991, while working at Bowers & Wilkins, Ghahary discovered a set of prototype speaker cabinets by acoustic engineer Laurence Dickie in a skip outside the factory. That salvage operation became a partnership, and in 1992 they co-founded Blue Room Loudspeakers. The Pod speaker range that followed—HousePod, MiniPod, TechnoPod, MicroPod, and Bass Station—won the EISA European AV-Design Award in 1995–96 and placed audio design in the same conversation as furniture and architecture for the first time.

In 1994, Ghahary co-founded Blue Room Released, a record label operating from studios in Shoreditch, London and San Francisco, with Mick Paterson of Novamute/Mute Records. The label’s roster included Juno Reactor, Total Eclipse, and Koxbox, releasing seventy-seven titles across eight years of psychedelic electronic music. Ghahary also designed album artwork for The Orb and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

Following a decade of international brand and design consultancy—including Creative Director at Pico International Dubai and board member of the Emirates Green Building Council—Ghahary returned to the intersection of sound, form, and meaning that had always driven the work.

Eye See Sound is the platform for that return. It is home to the Metallic Spheres visual series, the Voyager One loudspeaker, and the limited editions that fund One Song: a ceremonial sound installation twelve years in development. One Song is the destination. Everything here serves it.
