Northern Lights-Inspired Aluminum Speakers

Bang & Olufsen Unveils its New Atelier Edition Series

— April 8, 2024 — Lifestyle
Bang & Olufsen introduces its Atelier Editions series that is launching as a part of its latest seasonal update inspired by the Northern Lights. It tints the Beoplay EX and the Beosound 2 3rd Gen in a tone that is dubbed 'Norther Sky Turquoise.' It boasts a limited design which has a gradient finish inspired by the night lights before being coated with the premium aluminum finish.

Christian Bauers, Director of Bang & Olufsen Atelier explains, “One by one, each Beosound 2 is carefully anodized following a delicate method, where the aluminum piece is slowly dipped upside down into the turquoise color bath. The speed at which the operator dips the piece gradually increases to the beat of a metronome as it gets immersed deeper in the color bath, ensuring a high saturation at the top and a subtle finish at the bottom.“
