Designer: with . Behind the scenes with Benjamin Hubert, founder of LAYER Design. Beosound Emerge with Beosound Balance, a previous speaker from the same series. Whatever your aesthetics, Beosound Emerge can uplift the space. The slim design is designed to blend into a bookshelf, compromising on the size, but not the quality. Didn’t we say tiny size, mighty sound! The device is made with premium materials like oak, knitted fabric, and aluminum. The design draws a parallel to IKEA’s Symfonisk series, where products are designed to deliver double functionality – like a bedside lamp with speakers or the latest being a emitting working as a speaker. You can even pair two Emerge’s together to create a stereo pair. The Light Oak model retails for $899 while there’s a cheaper, if still premium-priced Black Anthracite model for $699, to be released by October 2021. B&O says you’ll be able to replace that part with the latest version and continue using the speaker as the removable component has enough processing power to accommodate updates and new features “for years to come.”
