Denmark’s B&O Celebrates Its Centenary With Three Special Centennial Collection Products

Bang & Olufsen has announced The Centennial Collection, a release of special edition products inspired by the brand’s heritage in a tribute to the Danish company’s first 100 years of unique design and sound.

The Centennial Collection draws on decades of the brand’s design language by blending archival details with contemporary craftsmanship that reimagines three of Bang & Olufsen’s iconic products: Beoplay H100, Beosound A5 and Beosound A9 5th Gen.

“Since our founding in 1925, timeless design has been at the heart of everything we craft. The Centennial Collection honors our past, celebrates our present, and looks to the future. It is a tribute to the icons that have shaped Bang & Olufsen and to the enduring values that define our legacy,” says Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen.

The collection celebrates defining decades of Bang & Olufsen’s history. Inspiration includes the checkered grill patterns of early radios to the vibrant color palette of the 1970s in Century Red, Chestnut Brown and Century Blue.

The brushed aluminum surfaces perfected in the 1980s reflect the raw beauty of B&O’s signature material, while the refined leather accents and precision-turned dials echo designs of the last decade. Each product in the collection is finished with the B&O Est. 1925 Anniversary logo and carries a tribute to the vision of B&O’s founders, Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen.

Beoplay H100 Century Brown

The Beoplay H100 headphones bring together an immersive sound with a look that’s designed to stand the test of time. Optimized for Dolby Atmos, these wireless headphones feature titanium drivers and advanced noise cancellation.

The leather headband in Century Red complements the Chestnut Brown inner headband, paired with Chestnut Brown leather ear cushions and refined Century Blue detailing for a vibrant contrast. The headphones’ glass disc in natural silver tone features B&O’s anniversary logo. A matching leather pouch in Century Red with accents of Century Blue completes the design of this contemporary collectible.

Beosound A5 Century Weave

The Beosound A5 is a powerful portable speaker with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a long-lasting battery and built-in wireless charging. Designed for listening at home or outdoors, this special edition features a paper raffia weave in Beige and Chestnut Brown, reinterpreting the iconic chequered speaker grills B&O used in the 1950s on its earliest radios. A brushed aluminum frame, Century Red leather strap, and anniversary engravings underscore its craftsmanship, while the Century Blue cable adds a touch of playful vitality.

Beosound A9 Century Blue

The striking Beosound A9 speaker has become something of an icon of minimalist design. The A9 blends sculptural form with room-filling sound and is powered by seven finely tuned drivers.

This reimagined Centennial edition is wrapped in Kvadrat’s Centennial Cadence fabric, a bold checkered weave in Century Blue and Chestnut Brown, creating a dynamic, contemporary vision.

The A9’s natural aluminum ring and legs are finished with a heritage-inspired brushed treatment recalling Bang & Olufsen’s iconic aesthetic of the 1980s. Anniversary engravings honor the founders’ vision, while the striking Century Blue feet and cable add a vibrant finishing touch.
