Founded in 1983 in Vicenza, Italy

Founded in 1983 in Vicenza, Italy—a city famed for its Renaissance architecture and legacy of goldsmiths—Sonus Faber emerged not with fanfare, but with the quiet confidence of its sound: rich, warm, and deeply human.

A Legacy of Artistry and Innovation

At the heart of this vision was Franco Serblin, a devoted audiophile and meticulous craftsman who saw audio equipment not merely as functional tools, but as sculptural masterpieces, objects meant to elevate both the sonic and visual experience of a living space.

This environment nurtures an appreciation for detail, continuity, and elegance—values deeply embedded in every Sonus Faber creation.

Shared Values in Design

This dedication to detail and sensorial richness resonates far beyond sound. It echoes in Brett Johnson’s Brown Cuban Shirt with Leather Ribbed Pocket. Crafted in Italy with the same reverence for material and finish, this shirt mirrors Sonus Faber’s ethos: soft, woody textures meet subtle innovation.
