Roger Ball (designer)

Roger Ball is a British industrial designer best known for his work on electronic instruments and hi-fi equipment during the late 20th century. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to the design aesthetics of products from companies like Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) and Cambridge Audio.

Ball's design philosophy often emphasized clean lines, user-friendliness, and a focus on the function of the product. He sought to create designs that were both aesthetically pleasing and practical, reflecting the engineering behind the technology.

While often working as a consultant rather than an in-house designer, Ball's influence can be seen in several iconic audio products of his era. His designs are often characterized by a minimalist, yet sophisticated approach, and a focus on high-quality materials and construction.
