Bang & Olufsen was founded in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen in the rural Danish town of Struer. True to its tagline “Where sound meets design,” its audio products offer sophisticated design and intuitive controls that make them favorites particularly among lovers of fine music and design. The brand has collaborated extensively with designers in and beyond Denmark, including Jacob Jensen, David Lewis, and, more recently, Norm Architects and Cecilie Manz. It celebrated its centennial in 2025.
