    How many B&O items can you find?

    B&O is obviously not only the brand for lovers of minimalistic design...

    I found 1.735.065 mirrors. The owner must really love himself. Frightening...

    Re: How many B&O items can you find?

    Thanks for the link. I noticed I did not get it right.

     

    And no, it isn´t my house... But as it is for sale it could perhaps be something for our fellow Beoworlders? SEK 4 850 000 (appr. EUR 525 000). Well invested money in 65 square meters.

    Well, I don't know about the house, but I've already sent an email asking Annie Malarborn to marry me.

     I think I have my priorities in order here,

    I have to disagree Neil - it's far worse than that!Ick!

    In response to the OP - I couldn't see ANY B&O, my eyes automatically shut themselves in self preservation after the first 2 pictures

    Fair dos - it does appear to include it's own Pole Dancing Bar!

    Clearly not decorated with resale value in mind! Big Smile
    Finding someone with equally particular taste will be a challenge. Anyone notice the two "gnomes with suits" sitting on the bench outside? It's as if they wondered how to cap the phenomenal work performed inside.

    When I was house hunting a few years ago I came across a residence that had been tiled in totality. The mirrors here reminded me of it. Tiled absolutely everywhere, floors/walls/cabinets/even some of the furniture. I was sure that if you had run a garden hose through the window into one of the first floor rooms you could turn that floor into a swimming pool. The estate agent told me they had been trying to sell for two years, with no takers.

    Good luck to the House of Mirrors!

    Weird.  Narcisstic with the mirrored bedrooms and the mirrored ceiling in the office area.

    +1 - clearly no style and simply excess in everyway possible.. vile and very much a statement about the owners.

    It's hard to count them when you see 4 Avants in one picture. Big Smile

    What about the outside veranda? I guess this is where the owners goes when they want to feel a little bit crazy. No mirrors. Just wood on the walls and two cheap plastic furnitures.

    But the best part is the last picture:

    Wife: "Honey, what shall we do with the five trees we have?"
    Man: "What about rebuilding them to a train station"
    Wife: "But we don't have any tracks!"
    Man: "But we have a train station clock"
    Wife: "OK dear, but only if we place my giant anchor there!"
    Man: "Deal!"

    Re: How many B&O items can you find?

    It is not only the worst house I've seen, this guy should be forbbiden to buy (and show!) anything B&O.

     

    But the question is I'm pretty sure it will sell easy, mainly for one reason: bad taste is the most democratic thing in the world. It doesn't choose religion, gender, race or social class...

    Yes, but I am very surprised how well B&O blends in to this very "different" interiour design... a big applaus to B&O for making equipment that actually works well in aparently every setting.

    B&O was the only brand they could find with mirrorlike speakers.

    Well, I caught the two gnomes in suits seated on the bench on the terrace, but I missed the Irish leprechauns on each side of the entrance to the house. This is beyond parody. They're probably giving the reclining cement doe a hungry eye!

    In photo 28 (i think) (bedroom with avant) there appears to be a BV7 stand which is being used to hold a mobile phone and alarm clock. Strange!
