Bang & Olufsen: Design for Sound by Jakob Jensen
Museum of Modern Art, New York
1978
About
Why this artist matters now
Bang & Olufsen is a Danish manufacturer founded in Struer in 1925, specializing in audio and visual equipment designed as functional objects of aesthetic refinement. The company's postwar output, particularly its radio and television receivers, exemplifies a modernist approach to industrial design where engineering precision meets sculptural form. Their products have been acquired by major design institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The company's influence on twentieth-century design culture stems from its integration of sound technology and visual restraint into domestic space.
