Bang & Olufsen has collaborated with London-based artist Slawn to launch a special edition of the Beosound A9 speaker, limited to just 10 pieces for the UK. This project is part of their global Art of A9 initiative, inviting artists to use the speaker as a canvas. Slawn’s design features a sleek black-and-white graphic that complements Øivind Alexander Slaatto's original round shape. Each piece comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity from Slawn, who is known for his unique style that blends street culture with fine art. The A9 speaker, made from anodised aluminium, fabric, and oak, can be displayed on wooden legs or hung on a wall.
