EPICURE LOVES

Bang & Olufsen

The Danish luxury lifestyle brand’s latest collection certainly lives up to its name; created in collaboration with Danish design studio Norm Architects, the Contrast Collection is an eight-piece collection that celebrates tactility and textures. The exclusively light grey and anthracite colour palette forces focus on the brushed aluminum textures present in each piece of the collection, giving Contrast its distinctive appearance.

For instance the Beosound Stage’s ($2,750) aluminum body is contrasted by fabric with a horizontal weave, pulling emphasis to the linear elements of the soundbar. Prefer to take things mobile? The Beosound Edge’s ($5,700) simplistic design belies its five-drive amplifier, resulting in a compact, yet powerful, directional audio experience. Those with an eye for interior design however, will favour the Beosound Shape ($440 to $1,150 for two). The naturally shaped, modular wall mounted speaker can be entirely customised and e matched to any living space.

The Contrast Collection is available online at bang-olufsen.com, or from selected retailers in Singapore.
