Happily strolling down Strøget, the Copenhagen pedestrian shopping street, my eye catches a glimpse of an elegant bicycle, placed in the window of Bang & Olufsens very new flagship store in the posh and expensive end of this 1,1 kilometre long tourist attraction running from Rådhuspladsen to Kongens Nytorv. And yes, this is a Sögreni, one of the 20-or-so ever made in the famous collaboration from 2008 between Sögreni of Copenhagen and Georg Jensen. Bang & Olufsen has borrowed this bicycle from Georg Jensen to display the brand new hearphone Beoplay H6. The company discribes the new hearphone like this: “BeoPlay H6 is crafted in luxurious materials, and makes a bold statement in terms of design. With a choice of black or natural leather it is a perfect match if you refuse to compromise quality in sound, design or craftsmanship”. This bicycle and these hearphones – what a match! The bicycle is not for sale, but the headphones could be yours for a mere 2.995 DKK – about 400 euros.

We are happy to announce the return of the Sögreni Bells at Louisiana Musuem of Modern Art situated at Humlebæk, about 40 kilometres north of Copenhagen. Even though they are small design wonders, the Bells are not really part of the exhibition (yet!) – but for sale in the shop.
