There is mention of 20 days a year in China with suppliers. This is what they need to get right if they are to sell to interior designers and style conscious customers. 

 

Style over substance.

Ban boring signatures!

would you like to use this experience in the design of Bang & Olufsen’s luxury lifestyle audio products? And are you looking for an opportunity to:
– Improve your CMF design skills and apply them to Bang & Olufsen products?

 

Improve your skills sounds an odd thing to write in a job ad?

Beo Century ,Beoplay V1, Beocenter 6, Ex-Beolit 12, Beotime , A8 , MX 5500 . Beolit 15 , Form 2i , Beolab 2000, Beoplay A3.

There’s an argument to be made it might be intentionally worded like that. It might attract fresh blood/younger designers, which is something it feels like they sorely need.

"B&O has a distinctive design appeal that Wired described as “quality media delivery via striking objects”. The company is looking for a seasoned CMF designer to join their team in Copenhagen, Denmark."

 

"seasoned" does not not mean fresh?

Seasoned doesn’t have to mean stale
