R.I.P.

David Lewis

I really loved his eye for design and really loved the products he designed for B&0, R.I.P david lewis and my heart goes out for his family.

I'm speachless. My design hero has passed away. As a long time collector of B&O I must say that every piece I have in my possesion reminds me of David's talent, skill and ever so deligent attention to detail and function. This is the saddest day in my life. I'm utterly shocked by this sad, sad news.

David, you left very big shoes to fill for whoever will decide to tread the path of yours.

I'm really disgusted that there is no credit or mention to David Lewis on the B&O website. If it wasn't for David Lewis B&O wouldn't be half the company it is.

I think the lack of this respect makes B&O come across as a very cold, inhumane company. I'm really quite shocked and disappointed! Let's be honest David Lewis was Bang&Olufsen for the past 30 or so years!!! Think of BeoLab 8000 stunning design and you've got David Lewis's vision to thank for that!

I was rather surprised to see that there was no mention of it on the B&O site as well. Perhaps David or his family requested that the news of his passing remain low profile. Apple featured Steve Jobs on its home page for days after his death to honor his memory.

Dealers have officially been informed this afternoon (European Time).

It has also been announced, that a reaction on facebook will happen
quickly - ? followed by one on the B&O home page ...

I agree B&O should do something on its site.

Steve Jobs was the founder of Apple, so a little different

Sad news. 

RIP.

When I look at my BV5, Beosystem 2500, .... I know He will still be alive in my heart and I am proud to own some of his works of art.

Reposez en Paix Monsieur Lewis.
