SAINT-ÉTIENNE, France, Oct. 2, 2025 — Focal unveils Focal Crafts, a workshop dedicated to the creation of exclusive pieces, where artisanal excellence meets innovation. For its first achievement, the French brand, a benchmark in high-end audio, presents 13 pairs of Utopia loudspeakers adorned with patinated leather.

The Art of Craftsmanship: The Demand For Expertise

Since 1979, the Focal exception has lain in a balance between acoustic expertise, craftsmanship and technology. The brand nurtures an approach based on mastery of materials and precision of gesture. With Focal Crafts, it takes a new step by highlighting the decorative arts. Each piece is shaped in accordance with artisanal traditions, as demonstrated by the first collection of unique creations – Opus No.1 – which celebrates leather and the art of patina. Manufactured in France, 13 pairs of Utopia loudspeakers have been clad in patinated leather. These creations are available exclusively in selected Focal Powered by Naim stores.
