The bold and the beautiful

Depth and colour are at the heart of Bang Olufsen’s latest Contrast Collection. Their newest range of speakers and headphones have bridged the sense of both touch and sound, allowing a marriage between aesthetic, tactility, and the auditory. Their sleek eight-piece collection with Norm Architects feature a variety of speakers that complement the auditory needs of any home or occasion.

Using aluminium to play with both colour and texture has been the key into its design. Their success with the metal has allowed them to create products that come in a spectrum of colours, serving to emphasise the textures applied onto its surface.

The collection includes portable Bluetooth speakers like the Beoplay A1 and Beosound Edge that are both compact, yet powerful wireless speakers that are great for use at home or on travelling trips.

Those looking to boost surround sound at home can look toward the Beosound 1 and Beosound 2. The cylindrical pyramid shape grants users powerful 360˚ sound. While the Beosound 1 offers a minimalist finish alongside portability, the Beosound 2 boasts strong brush lines and multi-room sound function.

Around the home, plug into the Beoplay A9 multi-room speaker that boasts a beautiful anodised dark metal frame that contrasts with light wool and viscose fabric. Or, hook TVs up to the Beosound Stage, a soundbar that incorporates Dolby Atmos technology for an immersive viewing experience.

As for the office, look into the Beosound Shape, a wall-mounted speaker system that comes in a rainbow of sleek, muted colours that fit as a decorative yet functional piece. Otherwise tune out distractions with Beoplay 9, wireless noise-cancelling earphones that offer up to 25 hours of playtime on a single charge.
