The editions are capped at 10 pairs each with pricing around €475,000

Bang & Olufsen has unveiled the final two designs in its five-part “Atelier” series, completing the project in celebration of its 100th anniversary with the Monarch and Zenith editions.

Conceived as a centenary statement, the full Atelier series reimagines the Beolab 90 across five distinct editions, each positioned less as conventional audio equipment and more as collectible design objects. The Monarch Edition draws on the traditions of Danish craftsmanship, with Santos palisander wood curving around the form in a way that mirrors the movement of sound itself. Its visible wooden joints and tactile finish lend the speaker the presence of a hand-assembled sculpture, rooted in the brand’s long-standing relationship with wood.

By contrast, the Zenith Edition shifts focus towards light and surface. Hundreds of individually assembled aluminium spheres form a complex, almost fluid texture across each panel, creating the illusion that they hover above the surface. The result is a dynamic interplay with light, as reflections shift throughout the day and subtly alter the speaker’s visual character.

Elsewhere in the series, the Shadow Edition introduces a custom-designed black metal mesh in place of traditional fabric covers, offering a semi-transparent, holographic effect that reveals glimpses of the internal drivers. The Mirage Edition explores movement through a bespoke gradient anodisation applied entirely by hand, allowing the surface to appear in flux depending on the viewer’s position. Completing the quintet, the Titan Edition strips the form back to its essentials, exposing raw cast aluminium without covers or filters, foregrounding both material and acoustic power.

Across all five editions, the internal architecture remains unchanged, with 18 drivers engineered to deliver adaptive, high-precision sound. Each pair is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a bespoke aluminium miniature, reinforcing the series’ positioning within the realm of collectible design.

Limited to 10 pairs per edition, the Monarch and Zenith are priced upon request at £410,000 per pair, equivalent to approximately €475,000. A standard pair of Beolab 90 speakers, meanwhile, retails for around €180,000.
