Martin Willers and Per Brickstad are Swedish designers and founders associated with Transparent, the Stockholm-based audio brand they launched with Magnus Wiberg in 2014. Public profiles identify Willers as the company's chief executive officer and Brickstad as its chief designer, a partnership that brings together business vision, product development, and industrial design around a shared ambition to rethink consumer electronics. Their work emerged from a frustration with disposable technology and a desire to create products that could function as both high-quality sound systems and lasting design objects.
Their best-known work centers on Transparent's speakers and turntables, which are distinguished by exposed construction, restrained geometry, and a modular logic intended to support longevity and repairability. The brand's official materials describe their goal as creating products that age well and reduce electronic waste, while other references note how their designs helped position Transparent as a circular tech brand with a strong interior-design sensibility. Within a Luminaire context, Martin Willers and Per Brickstad are best understood as contemporary designers working at the intersection of industrial design, sustainability, and domestic architecture, creating audio objects that feel as considered visually as they are technically.
