Music to the eyes

“In Bang & Olufsen, we believe that music and arts make the bridge across the world, where nothing else can. The ambition of this collaboration is to present a mood-changer with our Beoplay A9 that delights both the ears and the eyes,” says Duangkamol Vephula Waagensen of B&O.
Romhild’s flowing compositions reinterpret and blur modern European art genres with Oriental mystique. From a successful career in unica painting and sculpturing, she has now also embarked on showing her style as design, through Elizabeth Romhild Design, which all depicts from her earlier works of women and sensuality.

“Creativity is a journey and music is an important part of this journey. The choice of brush stroke and colour all depends on that exact being I am at that exact moment, and music can play have a big part in the choice of colours I use. When I need an extra zap of energy, I turn on my A9 B&O loud speaker in my studio, and enjoy being one with my brush,” says Romhild.
For “La Boheme”, Romhild playfully expresses the independence of feminine sensuality, control and role playing. Bursting with tongue in cheek innuendo and subtle allegory, she details the flamboyance of society’s elite, where the heady world of intoxicated flirtation and lust are under ridden by sexual control and illicit liaisons, through the influence of musical instruments.
The disc-shaped A9 speaker calls to mind a satellite dish. Perched on a wooden tripod or wall-mounted, it will wirelessly stream audio from a phone, Wi-Fi, DLNA or Apple AirPlay. A swipe of the hand across the back adjusts volume, switches tracks or mutes the sound. 
The A9 can be set up to play different music in different rooms – or one song throughout the home. 
Bang & Olufsen Concept Store is on the first floor of Gaysorn Village, Bangkok.
