I want to share something I designed in 2007 for Microsoft Next Gen. Design Competition , it lasted as Top 10 finalist designs, but someone in the microsoft jury mentioned , that it looked to much Bang Olufsen :) , do you like it ? It was conceived to be made of white aluminum .Not possible to made now..

Your project look like the compact system I would like to buy. Simply Excellent !

Why is not possible to build ? Did you propose it to Bang & Olufsen. Maybe you

will be lucky to win this time. Congratulations ! 🙂

lovely design Tomaz!!! - clean n simple...I guess the put-down by Microsoft judge should reallybe taken as ultimate compliment. After all, what have microsoft ever designed that was beautiful? useful yes, beautiful?? Absolutely not.

Can you really imagine that Microsoft could ever have made anything using white alloy? What would they then do with their plastic junk mountain?????

 

 

Thanks !

 

By looking it at today , I would probably remove the CD-drive section and replace it with a big navigation wheel :) but on the other hand why not keeping it ... with the BS5 you have to buy it extra to rip CD content comfortably ...the big screen disappears behind a white door, actually the same principle you know from the Beocenter 9500. 

An all white system without a visible black screen...With, not possible to made ,I was reffering to white coloured aluminum, this alloy is not possible to produce.

which would look like this , hey thats looking damn good ..I did a good job back in 2007 :)) I hate plastic :D

 

I'm usually not a fan of the designs posted from time to time, but I like the unit you've designed, Tomaz. You're right that there's probably no need for as much hardware in the middle these days, but the screen is a nice touch. A worthy evolution of B&O design DNA.

Your project is really nice ! 

We need the CD, hard-disk, Internet Radio. Concerning speakers,

can you try to design without black clothing but with an integrated

alu cover with small wholes for sound like see in the new Beolab 12.

Please contact Bang & Olufsen for your proposition. You have chance

the Master David Lewis let you the free entry... Come on! Let's go !

Cross fingers for you and for our future BeoSystem 12 ! I will buy it !

 

P.S: if you need encouragement or petitions I will support 🙂

While I think CD is done, weren't there some rumblings about an update to Beosound 9000? Maybe they add a mp3 and net radio component to it.

 

I would not expect much else, this is the year of Beoplay

@Beoboy I appreciate your support ,but the world is little bit more complicated 🙂 so don't expect this design concept from B&o, anyway it was conceived for Microsoft working with embedded Windows No - thumbs down , and youre the only one who wants to buy it 😁 But if I have time I will make a new one with subtle changes and in polished aluminum and with aluminum loudspeaker grill and post it in this thread.. 

 

Hi Tomaz,

 

Thanks for your reply !

Not sure that I will be only one to buy it ! 😕

Please look at KEF with the alu Speaker Muron.

Maybe another brand will be interested by your

project. Awaiting your next draw with alucover !

 

Kind regards.
