Each piece reflects a different era of the brand’s design heritage, featuring distinctive materials and finishes in Century Red, Century Blue, and Chestnut Brown. Embodying the spirit of innovation that has defined the company since 1925, the collection pays tribute to founders Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen while reinforcing the brand’s reputation for timeless design and superior sound.

(PRESS RELEASE) STRUER, 22-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Bang & Olufsen has unveiled The Centennial Collection, a special edition series celebrating the Danish brand’s century-long commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless design. Drawing inspiration from a century of audio heritage, the collection reimagines three of its most iconic products — Beoplay H100, Beosound A5, and Beosound A9 5th Gen — blending archival design codes with modern precision and performance.

“Since our founding in 1925, timeless design has been at the heart of everything we craft,” said Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen. “The Centennial Collection honours our past, celebrates our present, and looks to the future. It is a tribute to the icons that have shaped Bang & Olufsen and to the enduring values that define our legacy.”

Each product in the collection embodies a specific era of the brand’s design journey. Early checkered grill patterns inspired the woven textures seen across the series, while the vibrant colour palette — Century Red, Chestnut Brown, and Century Blue — pays homage to the bold aesthetics of the 1970s. The brushed aluminium finishes reflect the raw, minimalist beauty that became a B&O hallmark in the 1980s, complemented by modern leather detailing and precision-engineered dials. Every piece bears the B&O Est. 1925 Anniversary logo and a tribute to founders Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen’s guiding principle: “A never failing will to create only the best.”

Beoplay H100 Century Brown
Designed for immersive, cinematic listening, the Beoplay H100 features titanium drivers optimized for Dolby Atmos and advanced noise cancellation. Its Century Red and Chestnut Brown leather composition, accented with Century Blue detailing, evokes the spirit of the brand’s mid-century design. The headphones include an anniversary glass disc in natural silver and a handcrafted leather pouch in matching colours, transforming them into collectible pieces of design artistry.

Beosound A5 Century Weave
The portable Beosound A5 speaker reinterprets Bang & Olufsen’s 1950s heritage through a Beige and Chestnut Brown paper raffia weave reminiscent of classic chequered radio grills. Featuring Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a robust aluminium frame, Century Red leather strap, and Century Blue cable, the speaker seamlessly combines nostalgia with modern functionality. Anniversary engravings and a built-in wireless charging feature complete the design.

Beosound A9 Century Blue
An enduring symbol of Bang & Olufsen’s design innovation, the Beosound A9 5th Gen now appears in Kvadrat’s Centennial Cadence fabric — a striking Century Blue and Chestnut Brown checkered pattern. Its brushed aluminium ring and legs recall the 1980s design era, while seven custom-tuned drivers deliver powerful, room-filling sound. The piece is finished with anniversary engravings and vibrant Century Blue accents, combining sculpture and sound in perfect harmony.

Priced at €1500 / $1750 for the Beosound A5 Century Weave, €4500 / $5500 for the Beosound A9 Century Blue, and €1800 / $2300 for the Beoplay H100 Century Brown, The Centennial Collection will be available starting 22 October at Bang & Olufsen stores worldwide and online at bang-olufsen.com.
