Posh Parametric Wave Soundbars

This Bang & Olufsen Soundbar Concept is Midcentury Modern-Chic

— February 19, 2022 — Art & Design
This Bang & Olufsen soundbar concept has been designed by Founder of the Working People Agency Andrey Dalakishvili as a piece of home audio equipment that would offer an elegant way to enjoy premium audio. The unit is characterized first and foremost by its parametric wave-inspired upper section that offers visual intrigue, while also helping to further enhance the mid-century modern aesthetic. The wave-like upper also features a dedicated section for the remote control, while the overall design speaks to a sense of Scandinavian minimalism that doesn't hold back on rich warmth to ensure it fits in well with a living space.

The Bang & Olufsen soundbar concept is rendered in Grasshopper 3D and was explained further by Dalakishvili who said, "During the development,” Dalakishvili explains, “the goal was to achieve a strict style, but not devoid of emotionality. A soundbar can fit perfectly into a laconic interior, and if necessary, become an extravagant art object.”
