The flagship store presents Bang & Olufsen’s complete product lineup, from portable speakers to advanced home theater systems. Guests can immerse themselves in dedicated sections for home theater and connected speaker solutions. These areas highlight Bang & Olufsen’s expertise in studio-grade sound, which adapts to the environment and the listener’s position, providing an immersive, cinematic experience.

The launch event featured several standout products. Among them, the Beovision Harmony drew attention with its unique design. This large OLED screen folds away when not in use, transforming the TV into a stylish piece of furniture. Kokholm demonstrated how the screen elegantly conceals itself, solving the challenge of large screens dominating living spaces. This is the brand’s largest 4K OLED screen, at 97 inces, which promises to turn any room into a cinematic environment.

Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

Bang & Olufsen’s relaunch underscores its commitment to sustainability and longevity. Kokholm emphasized the brand’s approach of crafting products built to last. Many of Bang & Olufsen’s offerings feature a modular structure, enabling them to be upgraded and maintained over time. The cradle-to-cradle approach ensures that the products have a long lifespan, keeping them out of landfills.

Kokholm shared an example of how the brand refurbished and resold their own turntables from the 1960s. This longevity-focused mindset reflects Bang & Olufsen’s belief that true sustainability is about creating products that stand the test of time.
