B&O Partners with Antolini to Craft Stunning Speakers with Natural Elegance
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Bang & Olufsen (B&O) has teamed up with renowned Italian natural stone brand Antolini to create an extraordinary line of speakers that fuse advanced audio technology with the timeless beauty of natural materials. This project is part of B&O’s Atelier design service, which allows for a bespoke customization experience.
Introducing the Beosound Balance Natura: A Masterpiece of Sound and Style
The highlight of this partnership is the Beosound Balance Natura, an innovative speaker that features a striking new pedestal design that elevates both its aesthetic appeal and acoustic performance. The base, crafted from Antolini's exquisite natural stones, is not just functional—it ensures that the speaker is positioned at an optimal listening height, creating a perfect blend of form and function.
The materials used in the creation of the Beosound Balance Natura include natural quartz and petrified wood. According to Antolini, these materials offer a unique translucency and depth, enhancing the relationship between light, texture, and sound. A beautifully anodized aluminum ring sits between the pedestal and the speaker, providing a seamless transition that balances the natural and the engineered.
Building on this partnership, B&O plans to release 16 bespoke speakers, each integrating Antolini’s exquisite materials with custom finishes from B&O's Atelier catalog. Alongside these stunning speakers, the collection will also feature a 55-inch Beovision Theatre TV and a pair of Beolab 28 speakers, both customized with Antolini’s luxurious Amazonite quartzite.
The Future of Sound and Design: More Collaborations on the Horizon
This collaboration with Antolini significantly elevates B&O's Atelier, which first debuted at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) conference in 2025. The Atelier service empowers customers to personalize the aesthetics of their audio devices, adding a unique touch to each product.
B&O CEO Kristian Teär expressed excitement about the Beosound Balance Natura, stating, “It is the embodiment of this collaboration—a seamless fusion of nature and innovation, where raw beauty meets refined sound. Together, we have transformed materials into emotion, creating a singular work of art that resonates with both the senses and the soul.”
Carlo Alberto Antolini, owner of Antolini, remarked on the importance of the collaboration, describing it as “a dialogue between aesthetics and performance, between nature and technology, between history and avant-garde.” He further emphasized the synergy between their natural stone and B&O's sound design, illustrating how the project brings to life “the story of Mother Nature’s beauty” while sculpting sound into pure emotional experiences.
As B&O and Antolini continue to innovate, fans can expect even more groundbreaking products that redefine the boundaries of design and audio craftsmanship. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the blend of nature and technology in sound like never before!
