The Tour of the B & O Beogram 4000 series is a genuine design classic, a turntable of the 70s that found a place not only in the houses of music fans, but also in art museums. And now he is back in a strictly limited edition that he probably can’t pay, but he will not be able to tear off the eyes from which he will move away.
The Beogram 4000C Saint Laurent Rive Droite edition, to give it its full name, has been created under the attentive eye of the creative director of Saint Laurent, Anthony Vaccarello.
This is not the first time that Vaccarello has reinvented a classic: for example, last year he redesigned the electric guitar Fender Stratocaster and the accompanying amplifier. But it was clearly warming up, because this B & O rotating plate is surprisingly beautiful.
This is not the first time that Beogram 4000C Renace: B & or restored and modified 95 of them in 2020 and offers them for $ 11,000 / £ 9,000 / around AU $ 17,000. But this new edition is even more selected and a little more expensive as well.
The 4000c Beeogram Saint Laurent Rive Droite Edition: Exquisite and inevitably, expensive
As our colleagues explain in Wallpaper, each rotating plate is a completely restored and numbered original with silver metal and a Ziricote wood base. B & o each original plate is disassembled in B&O in Denmark, and each part is cleaned, and by “each” we want to say “all”, to the smallest screws, and if necessary, replaced.
The hand -made wood frame is new, as well as the new finishes in the ZEN controls, apart from the plate, and each rotating plate obtains a new cartridge and a new preampler as well.
The wooden box is made of solid ziricote, which is a dark wood; It has “a particularly distinctive grain, creating an object of fascination even when the turntable is not in use,” says Wallpaper.
I think it looks absolutely impressive. We are accustomed to seeing many retro -inspi -inspi -inspiration stalls, but it is something enough to see a real return and show everyone how it is done.
The Beogram 4000C Saint Laurent Rive Droite edition is now available from Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Paris and La, and online YSL and Bang & Olufsen.
It is yours for € 30,000 (about $ 35,000 / £ 30,000 / AU $ 50,845), but if you want one, it will be better to be fast: there are only 10 headdresses in this launch.
