Best furniture for B&O machines..

23 replies

Hi guys,

Thought I would start a thread to see everyones favourite pieces of furniture to house or display Bang & Olufsen Gear and for that matter to surround it as well. You may already own it or want to own it.

I will start…

Mine would be a Danish Arne Vodder sideboard. Brilliant for long machines such as the Beosystem 4500...

My favorite HiFi Furniture is the B&O F-1000:B&O F-1000

We bought the sideboard in shot about three years ago from a dealer who sold lots of mid-century modern stuff. We had it repolished as the original lacquer had faded to a nice shade of nicotine....

Bonus was it had a few of those Danish furniture stickers on the back, like you get on older Beovoxes etc. Quite nice that it has a monster 80s Danish hi-fi sat on it!

I really like the products made by MDF Italia. You can either place a BS 3200, BS5, BS9000 or/and a BV10 for example.

Have to agree, the F1000 is stunning. Have a Beocenter 9300 on mine at the moment. In the past I have had by BV3-32 on it, but it meant it had to be too far away from the wall for my liking.

In terms of design credibility and suitability for virtually any period of B&O kit there is really only one contender - Dieter Rams's 606 shelving system.  In continuous production for 50 years or so, it is absolutely timeless.  

The company manufacturing it represents much that B&O used to represent - long production runs, exceptional build quality, sustainability (repairable) and has phenomenal customer loyalty. 

Needless to sat it is expensive, but you simply don't throw it away; you add to it and take it with you when you move. 

As someone once said, "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap'.  Bit like B&O really.

Have a look at this page on their site as an example.

Hi,

I have been to Vitsoe website, the design of their products is interesting.

Yes, you have to pay extra bucks to get the quality and a product that will last for a long time.

Cheers,

Guy

I'm looking at Vitsoe for my son's bedroom, the people at the shop in London are so nice and patient.  I've convinced SWMBO so they must be doing something right.  Classic design never goes out of fashion and yes its beautifully designed and manufactured and I doubt you'll ever have to worry about it going out of production.

The Vitsoe stuff is just beautiful. Missed out on a vintage vitsoe 601 chair that ended up going for around $2000 a couple of months ago. My next thing will be the Dieter Rams Braun music players and speakers.

Still love my Attyca, especially with a white 5500 stack on it.
