Elegant Designer Audio Accessories

Bang & Olufsen Partners with Raf Simons for the SS 2019 Season

The Spring/Summer 2019 range by Danish electronics brand Bang & Olufsen is characterized by slick and stylish designer audio accessories. The silhouettes in the collection rely on a chic color palette that effortlessly accents their minimalist aesthetic. The company opted in for three subtle nuances "which represent the ground, forest, and sky."

The capsule is dubbed 'Rise Above' and spotlights a range of different designer audio formats — from the over-ear Beoplay H91 to the in-ear Beoplay E6. In addition, the release embraces the recent movement toward convenience-focused wireless design.

Raf Simons and Kvadrat come in through a collaboration that realizes playfully patterned pouches for both the Beoplay H91 and the Beoplay E6. These pieces of cloth are made available for an extra £100 GBP and £40 GBP.
