Sculptural Speakers of Wood and Aluminum
The "Bang & Olufsen Seibu Shibuya Store" will feature a lineup of core products such as televisions, speakers, and audio players, as well as popular earphones. In the luxurious atmosphere of the 8th floor of the B Building at Seibu Shibuya, customers can slowly experience the world of Bang & Olufsen.
Particularly noteworthy is the column-shaped speaker "BeoLab 18," which embodies an iconic, sculptural design. It is a sophisticated surround system, reminiscent of a cinema, paying homage to the iconic design of the "BeoLab 8000" speaker, released in 1992, which was the most popular in Bang & Olufsen's history.
In the BeoLab 18, the Acoustic Lens, which draws a horizontal arc of 180 degrees, fills the room with uniform and ideal sound. The beautifully crafted aluminum lens is highlighted by a delicate green light when powered on.
With a focus on acoustic performance and exquisite craftsmanship, the BeoLab 18 received the Best of Innovations 2014 Award in the "High Performance Home Audio/Video" category at International CES. One should visit the new store to witness firsthand this masterpiece, acclaimed worldwide for its superb sound quality and aesthetic.
