Bang & Olufsen has announced a refined new collaboration with Italian brand Antolini, a global leader in natural stone craftsmanship. The partnership, developed within the framework of Bang & Olufsen’s Atelier Bespoke line, reflects a mutual dedication to innovation, artistic expression, and masterful craftsmanship—merging state-of-the-art acoustics with timeless design.
Debuting at Milan Design Week, the Beosound Balance Natura embodies this creative alliance. Crafted using meticulously selected natural materials from Antolini and bespoke design elements from Bang & Olufsen, the speaker redefines the intersection of form and function.
A standout feature of the Balance Natura is its sculptural pedestal, which brings together Antolini’s stone-working expertise and Bang & Olufsen’s signature aluminum craftsmanship. The pedestal not only elevates the speaker physically, but also enhances its presence as a distinct and functional design element within the interior space.
Adding a refined touch, an anodized aluminum ring sits between the pedestal and the speaker, creating a seamless transition. Carefully matched color tones emphasize the dialogue between nature and engineering, bridging the organic and the technological.
Carlo Alberto Antolini remarked on the collaboration:
“Together with Bang & Olufsen, we have brought to life a unique sensory experience—where natural stone is shaped to express the beauty of nature, and sound is sculpted to evoke pure emotion through a design that becomes art.”
Similarly, Bang & Olufsen’s design team aimed to create an organic extension of the product—blurring the lines between speaker and pedestal in a cohesive, sculptural form.
To celebrate this union of art and audio, a limited edition of 16 custom speakers has been produced, each featuring a unique combination of Antolini’s natural stones and exclusive finishes from Bang & Olufsen’s Atelier catalog.
The collection also includes a customized 55” Beovision Theatre and a pair of Beolab 28 speakers, featuring the same stone bases and neutral-toned color palette that reflect the sophisticated harmony at the core of this collaboration.
