Bang & Olufsen and Antolini turned heads at Milan Design Week with a fresh spin on the Beosound Balance speaker, shaping it into a stone-centered statement called the Beosound Balance Natura. The base, made from quartz or fossilized wood selected from Antolini’s storied collection, doubles as an acoustic stabilizer that cuts down on vibrations while sending sound cleanly into the room. A sleek anodized aluminum ring connects the raw material to the speaker itself, highlighting a partnership that embraces craft and technology in equal measure.
With just 16 pieces on offer, each crafted to order, this limited run goes beyond ordinary audio. The Natura edition holds onto the Beosound Balance’s recognized power, which includes beam-forming audio, 850 watts of output, and features like wireless connectivity and voice integration. Fans of design and high-fidelity sound get a piece that’s part tech, part sculpture. Bang & Olufsen and Antolini share a vision for thoughtful detail, and it’s all on display here, resulting in an immersive listening experience that also stands strong as a design focal point.
