On the back of a successful launch of the Sustainable Comfort collection at 3DoD in Copenhagen, Swedish bed and furniture manufacturer DUXIANA recently unveiled its new collaboration with Danish premium audio and vision producer Bang & Olufsen (B&O) at its London showroom in Marylebone.
The exclusive event attracted an array of stars including 90s icons Angie Brown and Ben Ofoedu of Phats and Small, celebrity chef Aldo Zilli, Spurs legends Ossie Ardiles and Ledley King, and TV presenter and psychotherapist Melinda Messenger. Here’s a look at how the brand marked the celebration where sleep and sound meet.
DUXIANA & Bang & Olufsen
A statement headboard constructed in solid wood and upholstery, with premium features including B&O sound. Central to the audio technology are the Beosound Level speakers of exceptional sound quality and versatility. These speakers feature a two-way setup with four drivers, including the most powerful woofer found in any portable speaker, delivering an immersive audio experience. It is further complemented by composite stone side tables, positioned behind a super king bed. The headboard is equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as enduring battery life and wireless charging capabilities, which is on the side tables. From the adaptive RoomSense technology, which tailors playback to suit the environment, to the effortless streaming capabilities via Airplay or Chromecast, the potential for personalisation and expansion is almost limitless. Both brands are committed to sustainability, with Bang & Olufsen having been awarded the Cradle to Cradle certification for the Beosound Level speaker in September 2021. The product is exclusively available through the DUXIANA retail channel and features three wood finishes, including oak or walnut, with a number of further customisable elements.
“We’re pleased to be joining forces with DUXIANA in bringing Bang & Olufsen’s excellence in sound, design and craftsmanship to the bedroom. With our equally rich heritage in design innovation, and dedication to longevity and circularity, this collaboration is an example of great brand synergies, beautifully integrating technology into the sleeping realm.”
Tiina Karjalainen Kiersch, Head of Design at Bang & Olufsen
Sustainable Comfort
Sustainable Comfort is their fully re-engineered most advanced customisable and replaceable component bed, that continues to provide the unique DUX spring system, delivering unrivalled comfort and longevity. This now also allows you to replace three key components to both adjust and maintain the support and comfort. These three components being our… Removable Top Pad – Inner Comfort Layer –Customisable Pascal system. The name Sustainable Comfort was chosen for two literal meanings… Firstly, by utilising the ability to exchange the three replaceable components, the user can sustain the comfort of the product throughout its life. Secondly, in an era of false environmental claims, DUX can proudly say that its component-based products both reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and use as many sustainable materials as possible.
“We are incredibly excited about this groundbreaking collaboration with Bang & Olufsen. By combining our expertise in sleep performance with their supremacy in audio technology, we’re not just creating products—we’re crafting experiences. The launch event was a big success and we thank everyone that attended.”
Kevin Slade, Director of Growth at DUXIANA
