Danish audio company Bang & Olufsen continue to impress fans with their latest Beosound A5 speaker, which is made in collaboration with designers GamFratesi. The Beosound A5 speaker is constructed from a blend of aluminum, wood, and paper fiber across the exterior, creating a contemporary aesthetic.

The company also notes that the new Nordic Weave colorway option is made from aluminum at the top and bottom of the structure, a light oak wood by the handle, and a woven paper fiber grille. The latter is inspired by "laid-back Scandinavian summers spent at the beach." In addition tot his, there is al a version that highlights a black anthracite aluminum theme with a dark oak handle and matching speaker cover that channels "the aesthetic of winter woodlands."
