1 Saint Laurent x Bang & Olufsen Beosound Edge

>>> Some speakers are not just there to be heard — they’re there to be seen as well. The Beosound Edge speaker from Bang & Olufsen and Yves Saint Laurent is one such device, with its marble print front face looking like it was hewn straight from an opulent mansion on the sunny French Riviera.
It’s the latest of many collaborations between the two firms, following a series of equally extravagant speakers, headphones and charging mats. The Edge speaker hooks up to an iPhone or iPad (gold–plated only, please) thanks to its built–in AirPlay, but you’re probably not too fussed about that. After all, you’re here to gawp at this marvel of modern money rainmaking. We don’t blame you. We’re doing the exact same thing.
