Bang & Olufsen has unveiled a new limited-edition collaboration with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Tokyo-based studio, Fragment Design. The partnership reinterprets four of the Danish brand’s most iconic audio products through Fragment’s signature restrained, monochrome aesthetic.

The collection blends Bang & Olufsen’s precision engineering and premium materials with Fragment’s distinctive black design language, resulting in a refined, understated tribute to enduring design and craftsmanship.

  • Beosound A1 – Portable speaker in high-gloss black
  • Beoplay H100 – Over-ear headphones with Fragment signature
  • Beosound Shape – Artistic wall-mounted speaker system
  • Beosystem 9000c – Timeless hi-fi system in dual-finish design

Beosound A1 – Portable speaker in high-gloss black

The iconic portable Beosound A1 receives a sophisticated makeover with a new liquid-like, high-gloss black finish achieved through a specialised artisanal anodization and hand-polishing process. Fragment’s double lightning bolt motif is subtly integrated beneath the grille, maintaining the speaker’s compact elegance while adding a contemporary edge.

Beoplay H100 – Over-ear headphones with Fragment signature

The flagship Beoplay H100 headphones feature Fragment’s logo on the left ear cup, complemented by high-gloss aluminium accents. The collaboration emphasises the headphones’ luxurious comfort and premium sound while introducing a bold yet minimalist black aesthetic that reflects Fujiwara’s signature style.

Beosound Shape – Artistic wall-mounted speaker system

The architectural Beosound Shape is presented as a curated configuration of seven tiles in a subtle flower-inspired arrangement. Combining black and grey fabric with aluminium details and a Fragment logo tag, this installation piece transforms the modular speaker system into a striking wall sculpture that merges sound and art.

Beosystem 9000c – Timeless hi-fi system in dual-finish design

The ultimate statement piece is the made-to-order Beosystem 9000c, reimagined with matte black surfaces paired with glossy natural aluminium. Both Bang & Olufsen and Fragment marks are integrated on the CD clamper and speaker stands. Paired with Beolab 28 loudspeakers and a Beoremote One, this system pays homage to Bang & Olufsen’s heritage while embracing modern minimalism.

This collaboration has been a long-time dream of mine, said Hiroshi Fujiwara, Founder of Fragment Design. Since building my home around Bang & Olufsen’s integrated home sound system in the 1990s, the brand has been my first choice for audio. This feels like a meaningful continuation of our journey together.

Pricing (RRP)

  • Beoplay H100: €1,950 / $2,400 / ¥297,000
  • Beosound A1 (3rd Gen): €399 / $475 / ¥60,800
  • Beosound Shape (7-tile configuration): €6,000 / $7,100 / ¥1,066,300
  • Beosystem 9000c (made-to-order setup): €60,000 / $69,650 / ¥10,662,900

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
