A retro revival like no other! Saint Laurent and Bang & Olufsen transform 10 vintage turntables into $31,000 masterpieces. Two’s company, three’s a crowd, but the fifth time?
That’s pure magic, at least when it comes to Saint Laurent and Bang & Olufsen.
The fifth collaboration proves that some partnerships are meant to last forever, as these two icons join forces to bring new life and elegance to the 50-year-old Beogram 4000c turntables, elevating them to the status of sonic art.
It’s easy to say that the 10 Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000c turntables are from the 1970s, but there’s no reason they should remain relics of the past. Reviving these retro gems into coveted collectibles is the genius of Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, who handpicked and restored a few from the original Beogram 4000 series, turning them into contemporary masterpieces.
For what is destined to be the pièce de résistance of Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Bang & Olufsen worked closely with Vaccarello to create a meticulously crafted limited edition of the Beogram 4000c. Even a beginner audiophile will appreciate the stunning aesthetics—each turntable features a Ziricote wood base (a wood prized for fine musical instruments like classical guitars), a silver metal finish, and an elegant presentation case.
Each turntable is a fully restored original, individually numbered on an aluminum strip on top of the lid and adorned with a collaborative co-logo.
For true vinyl connoisseurs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of audio history. Each turntable has been meticulously disassembled at Bang & Olufsen’s facilities in Struer, Denmark, with every component removed, cleaned, and replaced if necessary, down to the smallest screw. The only modern additions are a handcrafted wooden frame, refined finishes on the minimalist controls, and an updated cartridge and preamp, as reported by Wallpaper.
If you haven’t already rushed to buy one, here’s what you need to know: the Saint Laurent Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000c is available for €30,000 (approximately $31,000) on the Saint Laurent Rive Droite website and in select stores in Paris and Los Angeles.
