Designing better ways to live.

Some people see products.

Scott Struthers sees possibilities.

For more than four decades, Scott has built a legacy around a simple idea: the products we interact with every day shouldn't just work better — they should make life more beautiful.

In 1983 he co-founded Sonance and created an entirely new category, pioneering the in-wall and architectural speaker market. Instead of forcing homeowners to design around technology, technology could disappear into the architecture itself. Revolutionary then; standard now.

The most transformative innovations are often hiding in plain sight — a product people have accepted, a system nobody questions, an everyday experience that could be better.

Sonance Lab is the formalization of how Scott has always worked — now opened up so others can take part.

It exists to identify opportunities hidden within everyday life and turn them into products that create real value — moving ideas from concept to commercialization.
