Looks like a Blade and an LS50 Wireless had a child, raised by aliens.
What does Lovegrove even mean?

He is the designer that also designed the Muon and some other stylish KEF products:

Luxury should be expensive.
This guy likes curves.

the port is at the exact same location like it is on the LS 50 Meta (have them in front of me). If its indeed a two way i hope they found a way to increase bass output/extension compared to the LS50.
It's a good way to design a speaker acoustically.
Too bad they don't seem interested in refreshing their passive lineup. After my third pair of active speakers failed, I'm no longer in the market for that kind of product.

No doubt they’ll refresh the LS50 at some point.
Sorry to hear that. My Genelec en B&O have been working 15 years + without any problems. Ime it's due to designing for longivity, heat management etc, not per se active vs passive.
Anyway, the benefit of passives is you can get as high power amp as is suitable for your needs.

What brand(s)/model(s) were they?
I've been hoping for an enlarged LS50+ meta or some such thing. Maybe not as big as sourcepoint bookshelf. I do love my LS50s, but a bit more bass and output would be cool,

I have the LS50 Meta and the reference 1 Meta, both matched manually via Dirac art as close as I can and from the midrange and up the LS50 Meta sounds as good as the Reference 1 Meta to me. The bass is obviously lacking so if they can add some bass output with their veco technology this might be a very interesting Option especially if you care about the form factor.

Video by Audio Advice up. 6.5 inch uni Q with VECO. F3 at 43hz
Price is 4000. We’ll need to see the measurements but it’s a compact option between the LS50W and LS60
I do not like the way it looks

Black, White, Gray, meh......
The shape of the enclosure of the KEF LS Luxe using the White colorway reminds me of a skull.

The “reviews” out there are really bad, more like ads. And what an ugly speaker!
I'm a huge KEF fan, and I'm salivating over the possibility of sneaking a pair of LS60s past my wife for our place in France. But these things make little sense to me.
It's worth noting that you can buy "Lovegrove edition" LSXs for a mere 50% price premium. Their differentiator from the standard model is a wrap of tweed fabric. Insert raspberry sound here.

The resurrected Philips motional feedback is novel in a hifi product, isn’t it? KEF call it Velocity Control Technology.
£3,500 a pair here in Blighty, but when you add the stands they’re about the same as the LS60. That said, the looks are presumably for designer homes, rather than audio enthusiasts? I think they look great in that pearl finish.
