About Bang & Olufsen Aluminium
Bang & Olufsen turned hi-fi into industrial sculpture. From the Struer workshops of Jacob Jensen and David Lewis, BeoSound and BeoLab systems were machined from natural aluminium with a fine satin grain — never white, never glossy.
This system distills that language: a cool brushed-aluminium ground, hairline borders, deep charcoal type, and thin elegant sans-serifs aligned on a strict grid. The surface is satin metal, not paint — exacting, restrained, and quietly luxurious.
