Bang & Olufsen has been a bulwark,Ā anĀ excellence, in audio and videoĀ sector for ages.Ā SinceĀ 1925, in fact, the brand, product after product, has etchedĀ itsĀ name in history, becomingĀ aĀ leading brand in high quality and design.
To celebrate their 90th year of age the Danish group, founded in StruerĀ by two young engineersĀ Peter Bang e Svend Olufsen, has createdĀ aĀ limited editionĀ collection: the Love Affair Collection. These are some of theĀ historicalĀ objects studied in detail, elements already knownĀ of theĀ company, revisited in a new guise.
New finishes and new materials, such as walnut wood and aluminium in a rose goldenĀ gradient, which give new life to six historical objects of the group and it makes them become more modern, attractive and fascinating.
In addition toĀ theĀ musicĀ playerĀ BeoPlay A9 and headphones BeoPlay H6, two televisions (the BeoVision 11 and the BeoVision Avant 85), we can also find the wireless loudspeaker BeoLab 18, inspired by the historical BeoLab 8000 of 1992, which won the famous International recognition CES 2014 Best of Innovations Award in the category of audio / video. BeoLab 18 can boast high-performance access to any level. The acoustic lens diffuses a uniform quality audio on a horizontal plane by 180 degrees.Ā The last piece ofĀ the collection is BeoRemote One, a remote control that allows you to manage, with a single gesture, both the TV and the radio in all devices connected to them.
The extraordinary thing aboutĀ this revision is that, fromĀ the twentiesĀ untilĀ now, the style and history of Bang & Olufsen have never changed;Ā all theĀ designĀ objectsĀ that were current and innovative in 1925 so are now.
The jazz ageĀ lives in the details and in the style of Love Affair Collection and it seems to go back in time, back to the wonderfulĀ greatĀ parties, the Charleston and the stories of F.S. Fitzgerald.
