Bang & Olufsen and Raf Simons Cavort with Kvadrat for SS19

Taking cues from earthen hues, the deep greens of the forest canopy, and the pale blue sky, the limited-edition Bang & Olufsen Spring Summer Collection presents a very soothing palette of technology. The colorful editions are joined notably by two woven fabric carry-pouches integrating a fabric previously designed by fashion designer Raf Simons with Danish design fabric company, Kvadrat, adorning a protective carrying case evoking the patchwork of lichen and moss growing on Scandinavian stone, inspired by Pointillism.

The Ria headphone pouch by Kvadrat/Raf Simons takes inspiration from the artistic technique of Pointillism, building up color and texture with individual dots of fabric instead of paint.

The limited-edition Bang & Olufsen Spring Summer Collection comprises three new colors:

  • Clay, a deep and natural color inspired by the earthy tones of Scandinavian summer and dramatic seaside cliffs.
  • Pine, a dark green that brings to mind the crisp freshness and deep contrasts of the Scandinavian forest.
  • Sky, a light blue tone with a cool sense of breezy summer afternoons.

The H9i over-ear wireless headphones in Clay. We’ll be following up with a hands-on review of these Active Noise Cancellation headphones in the coming weeks.

The Bang & Olufsen SS19 Collection will be available online from March 21st 2019, alongside select Bang & Olufsen stores, and select third party retailers worldwide.
