Luxury audio brand Bang & Olufsen (\u94c2\u50b2) is celebrating its grand centenary by turning Shanghai into the first stop of a global exhibition.

The exhibition brings B&O\u2019s century-long design story to what\u2019s arguably China\u2019s most design-conscious city.<\/strong> If you\u2019re in town and hit the event, expect a mix of heritage pieces, contemporary collaborations and the kind of sculptural speakers that have made the brand a staple of high-end interiors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the centre of the Bang & Olufsen Shanghai Exhibition is something called Art of the A9,<\/strong> a creative project built around the brand\u2019s Beosound A9 speaker \u2013 something of an icon in the brand\u2019s portfolio. For this, B&O invited three creators from different disciplines to reinterpret the product as an artwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architect Zhang Yonghe (\u5f20\u6c38\u548c) leans into minimalism. His version strips away excess design and channels a visual memory of the oversized speakers common in the 1970s and 80s. Designer Li Ximi (\u674e\u5e0c\u7c73) plays with perception. Her design uses textiles to mimic aluminium, creating subtle shifts between light and mid-grey tones that shimmer like metal under changing light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile tech creator He Tongxue (\u4f55\u540c\u5b66) takes a more playful route. His piece combines mechanical engineering with traditional Hangzhou embroidery, turning the A9\u2019s circular surface into a kind of kinetic artwork with moving petals a la the classical Chinese garden\u2019s moon gates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition also digs into B&O\u2019s archives, displaying antique radios dating back nearly a century, alongside design classics, some of which are now part of the New York MoMA permanent collection. It\u2019s a neat way to celebrate a centenary: the exhibition leans into the design prowess that B&O have built their brand around. <\/strong>For a brand that has spent a century turning speakers into design icons, celebrating the milestone with an art exhibition feels like a natural encore.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
