David Lynch is usually known for producing eerie and
gripping films like Mullholland Drive and his famous TV show Twin Peaks (which
was recently revived), but the Academy Award nominated director now has an
interesting side gig with Bang & Olufsen. Together they have created a
limited edition A9 speaker with a custom lithographic Kvadrat speaker cover
featuring Lynch’s famed “Paris Suite” works.
Lynch has been known for his artwork and is,
according to the company, a self-proclaimed long-time patron of Bang &
Olufsen. The speaker will be launched at the Festival of Disruption which is
curated by Lynch, and will be signed and numbered as well. Only 30 units have
been produced and a portion of the sales will benefit the David Lynch
Foundation.
The collaboration will be on view at MoMA Design
Store, located at 81 Spring Street in New York, retailing exclusively there
beginning October 13, 2017. You can also buy it online at store.moma.org and
later on at B&O’s e-store. The B&O PLAY x David Lynch A9 “Paris Suite”
Speaker retails for US$ 2,999.
