The designs have potential. As many of the Bang & Olufsen designs that make it to production, sometimes they have to grow on us.... like the BeoSound 8 and BeoLab 5.

Meh. Bad design is bad design. B&O doesn't always hit it out of the park either.

I've studied design and id say these are rather inspiring and tactile! Hey Trip, don't laughat the work, that remote is dam far better than that silly Beo5 / 6.

Great design is inspirational and should be applauded!

Totally agree!!

For some reason, the "propellor" TV is posted on this page as the Beovision12.

tournedos:

To me many of them seem like odd appendices slapped on existing ideas. Like the split BV4 with a propeller. Less would be more...

The mobile phones remind me of Nokia's unorganized lineup from the early 2000's, when every team had to implement their own idea of an unusable keyboard.

Yes. By the way -what's the idea behind that propeller under a tv???

And, Paul...I agree that the BL5 are ugly (although it seems like many here on Beoworld like them...). But David Lewis' hands were tied on this task. The design was established in advance by the engineers in order to make the best possible sound. Have you seen the pictures from the development of those speakers?
The early prototypes looked like a refrigerator with some discs on top of it...I think that Lewis did quite well under the circumstances.

They are not beautiful like the BL 8000's, where the design came first...but they sound better.

It's much easier to sneer ....

Honestly Trip, was that necessary !?!

Sometimes its like someone went to central casting, and requested the "smug, self-important, look-at-me-aren't-I-clever luxury retailer, circa 1998" for a cameo.

... and hide behind a picture of a TV actor, using a different name from the same show...

Show your name and face Mr. 'TripEnglish'

I totally applaud the young guy. I find his work inspirational with a soul and certainly wish him the best of luck. I'm sure that he's spent many years studying incredibly hard for his qualifications. Certainly more worthwhile than just going out and buying another B&O product!

It's easy to criticise his work but come on, just look how ugly those BL5's are urgghhh!!! and they cost a fortune!

low average ! the into two pieces cutted BV4 design TV with its wrong aspect ratio must be a joke.

Interesting but average!

But anyway, I like watching stuff like that. At least we won't now be surprised when these pictures start cropping up in "have you seen this new B&O product" threads

I was not familiair with KS Design. Just had a brief look and saw nothing that I liked. Pretty much average stuff IMO. Thanks for sharing, though.

Hi Swiss_2,

My comment was for Trip. Anyway, I do find some of the designs quite intresting, TV for example.
