A Commemorative Film for the Collaboration
Born from RIMOWA and Bang & Olufsen's shared foundations of sophisticated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and innovative spirit, these luxurious headphones showcase the refined artistry that defines both brands.
Crafted with durable materials like anodized aluminum and genuine leather, the "RIMOWA x Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i" headphones come housed in RIMOWA's signature aluminum case. They feature the lustrous sheen of aluminum complemented by a warm, light gray hue. These meticulously detailed headphones boast a touch interface and active noise-canceling functionality.
For this collaboration, RIMOWA and Bang & Olufsen enlisted Swedish music producer Ludwig Göransson, based in Los Angeles, to create a portrait film reflecting his music, travels, and pursuit of success. The film, featuring valuable interviews with the Grammy Award winner on how he finds a sense of place through sound, is available on both brands'Official Website.
The limited-edition "RIMOWA x Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i," a testament to a partnership celebrating the unique connection between "travel" and "music," will be available at select RIMOWA stores, Bang & Olufsen's own retail and online stores, and select retailers.
