Bang & Olufsen Revisits the Beolab 90 Speaker System

Bang & Olufsen is ending its centenary celebration series with two new limited editions of the Beolab 90, the company’s famously faceted flagship loudspeaker.

First introduced in 2015 and originally designed by André Poulheim of Studio Noto, the speaker has now been supercharged by B&O’s in-house design team (lead by Kresten Bjørn Krab-Bjerre) as an even more visually uncompromising object that treats sound equipment less as background appliance than as a full-blown presence. The two new editions, Monarch and Zenith, quite literally put the “bang” back into speaker design, through a level of material finish that feels closer to sculpture than hi-fi equipment.
