Riva collaborates with Bang & Olufsen

Crystal clear sound, recognizable style, high technology — when two brands of highest caliber like Italy's Riva Yacht and Denmark's Bang & Olufsen come together, one may expect a fruitful collaboration.

The first gadgets from the acclaimed duo will be unveiled during the autumn boat shows. These will be two portable speakers for sea trips, combining moisture and sea salt resistance with premium sound quality. They are based on the iconic Bang & Olufsen models — Beosound A5, a versatile Bluetooth speaker with a two-way, four-driver design featuring the most powerful bass driver of any B&O portable speaker, and Beosound 2, a truncated cone-shaped speaker that provides 360-degree sound distribution.

‘The taste for ‘mixing’ elegance and innovation is a shared value,’ says Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Gallassi.

Riva is not the only Italian company that Bang & Olufsen is partnering with. Last August, B&O launched a range of headphones and speakers in collaboration with Ferrari.
