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.
