Bang & Olufsen, a Danish home electronics company known for its quality, collaborated with the Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi Studio on the Beosound A5 portable speaker. Retailing for $1,099, this product effortlessly combines head-turning aesthetics, high-quality materials, and powerful acoustic capabilities.
The form of the Beosound A5 portable speaker is reminiscent of a slick picnic basket. The product comes in two finishes, including a "natural silver aluminum with a Nordic weave cover, and black anthracite aluminum with a dark oak cover." The decisively Scandinavian-informed aesthetic is supercharged with state-of-the-art functionality as the speaker boasts "four digital amplifiers blasting 280 watts for powerful 360-degree sound post-processed by the software for a wide soundstage." Additionally, the B & O makes the design future-proof by enabling consumers to swap out hardware components as technology advances.
