A failed anodization experiment led Bang & Olufsen to the creation of the Beosound 2 Vollebak Edition speaker, featuring an accidental 'burnout' effect that became a signature design element. Partnering with Danish Space Architects SAGA, they introduced the Vollebak Spaceshop, a mobile retail concept designed for extreme environments. The shop embodies futuristic retail architecture and showcases speakers that elevate sound experiences, addressing the idea of providing goods across various settings, from beaches to outer space, marking a creative fusion of technology and architecture.
The accidental 'burnout' effect became a defining feature of Bang & Olufsen's luxury speaker, showcasing how unexpected outcomes can lead to innovative designs.
'When we thought about our first shop we didn't simply think about one city, or even one planet... we thought about a future in which stores would come to you.' - Nick Tidball, Vollebak co-founder.
'Danish Space Architects SAGA specializes in architecture for extreme conditions, making them ideal partners for a retail concept that could theoretically function anywhere from Earth to space stations.'
'Aluminum, in its raw form, has unique characteristics that, when treated with anodization, can lead to unpredictable and striking designs.' - Kresten Bjørn Krab-Bjerre, Creative Director.
