Bang & Olufsen Musical Pop-Up Takes SoHo

Bang & Olufsen just opened The Music Box, a new immersive pop-up in SoHo. The temporary boutique consists of a collection of interactive vignette photo-ops, all of which help to shed light on the elevated musical dimensions of Bang & Olufsen, as well as allow for the visitor to be immersed in the B&O listening experience.

Upon entering The Music Box, visitors are invited to enjoy the Bronze Collection, an exclusive colorway that unites Bang & Olufsen’s best multiroom speakers in one space. Emblazoned with a giant sound-generating pendulum, users are able to listen to musical notes through a Beoplay A9 speaker. But the highlight of The Music Box is housed in the rear, which contains the B&O jazz club, in every sense of the word — dimly lit, curtain-lined, and showcasing the newly released Late Night Blue Collection. The collection is a nod at the old-school iconic jazz clubs of New York – except maybe minus the Beoplay A1 Bluetooth speaker and the Beoplay E8 wireless earphones, which are 100% present in this spot.

Other interactive parts of the musical oasis include a brightly colored room displaying the new Beosound Edge, the award-winning wireless speaker (which features the world’s first active bass port), and a cozy living room that shows how the state-of-the-art Beolab 90 loudspeakers (which boast more than 16,000 watts of acoustic power) can easily fit into any living space.

The Music Box by Bang & Olufsen is open now at 121 Spring Street.

Joya and A24 Unveil Movie-Genre Inspired Candles

The latest development in the movie-watching experience: New York City-based production agency A24 (of recent critical hits like Lady Bird and mid90s) reached out to fragrance designer Frederick Bouchardy of Joya with a simple yet innovative idea: create a line of scented candles inspired by six classic Hollywood film categories.

The candles tell the stories of Horror, Western, Thriller, Noir, Adventure, and Musical genres, designed to stand alone as well as a cohesive group. “There are things that carry through the whole collection: a couple kinds of geranium; ambers and patchouli and dank woody things… The candles have signature complementary elements,” Bouchardy said in a statement.

With scent descriptions like, “Horror: Leathery. Dank. Not Unsettling, but not settling…” or “Noir: Velvety. Dark. A little spicy. Like rose jam,” the flavors are complex, intelligent, and most of all, sensuous. Seeing how cinematic technology has come as far as it has, smell has yet to make its way into the experience… until now. Each candle comes encased in a thick-lipped glass vessel with glossy black finishing and each aroma is labeled with a color and a number to distinguish the six variations.

The candles are available online now at A24 and Joya, as well as at the Joya studio in Brooklyn.
