The Beosound Emerge is a speaker designed by Bang & Olufsen (B&O). In this video, I do a quick industrial design analysis of the design and give my take on it. Overall, this design shows a very strong, singular point of view. There isn’t much up for interpretation to this design, which is a testament to the B&O team for rallying together and sticking to a concise vision. It was designed in collaboration with Layer Design. Overall, the Beosound Emerge is a design that is very consistent in its visual look and feel. It has a lot of depth by using classic materials, and it borrows heavily from the rich heritage of books. It’s very elegant in the way that it uses understated, low contrast materials with a very balanced visual hierarchy. And it shows a real commitment to craftsmanship in the way that it is constructed and manufactured.
