Salamander Designs has announced a new collaboration with Loewe Technologies and Cabasse, which the trio is calling Luxury Entertainment Reimagined. The companies will showcase this new partnership while at CEDIA Expo 2026, giving attendees an opportunity to see the new designs in person for the first time.

The showcase unites Loewe’s century of premium television engineering, Cabasse’s seven decades of coaxial loudspeaker design from Brittany, France, and Salamander Designs’ 3-plus decades of premium technology furniture from Bloomfield, Connecticut, U.S.

“We chose to stand alongside Loewe and Cabasse because our values align: precision engineering, uncompromising materials, and a shared commitment to redefining how people experience luxury entertainment at home,” shared Scott Srolis, President of Salamander Designs.

At the center of the display will sit the Loewe Stellar television, offered in 97-inch and 77-inch formats, integrated with Cabasse loudspeakers and housed within Salamander’s Chameleon Collection represented by the Manhattan Media Cabinet, the newest and fastest-adopted design in its portfolio.

“For integrators, this partnership takes the risk out of every decision and is backed by manufacturers who show up when you need them,” Srolis continued. “With Salamander, Loewe, and Cabasse, clients get the finest possible experience, and integrators get the backing of three iconic brands who take support as seriously as we take design. CEDIA [Expo] is just the start of what you’ll see from our combined companies.”

According to Salamander, Manhattan’s ventilation, wire management, inserts, and clearances were specifically engineered around the Stellar and Cabasse technology.

Why Integrators Should Take Note

The collaboration reflects a broader shift across the luxury sector, one where entertainment solutions have begun to coalesce around a shared design concept to simplify product specification while contributing to more cohesive room design.

According to Salamander Designs, the collaboration also gives integrators an opportunity to sell the room by positioning furniture like its Manhattan media cabinet as an equal design decision when selecting AV components, adding greater value to a segment that increasingly shops based on design as well as performance.

Three Brands in Expansion

Another element to notte is that each partner arrives at CEDIA already mid-expansion.

Loewe formally enters the U.S. market in January 2026, led by Jeff Costello, General Manager for North America, with a channel-first strategy built around CES, CEDIA and design-led engagement.

Cabasse continues to design and build from its home in Brittany, though it is now carrying Loewe’s international sales and marketing network behind it.

Salamander Designs, meanwhile, has been expanding its own footprint in parallel, including continually growing its portfolio with premium, custom seating, more flexible interiors, and expansion in both residential and commercial environments.

Luxury Entertainment Reimaged at CEDIA Expo 2026, HPA Room 208

CEDIA Expo 2026 is the strategic launch event for this collaboration. Attendees can experience the Loewe Stellar, Cabasse and Salamander Designs collaboration in person in HPA Room 208 at CEDIA Expo, September 2-4, in Denver, Colorado.
