Friday, June 7, 2024
With a shared legacy of excellence in craftsmanship and an ambition to deliver beautiful sound experiences, Bang & Olufsen and Riva are now partnering to create the ultimate vessel for sound.
“Riva and Bang & Olufsen share the same passion for performance, design, and craftsmanship. Together, we are bringing the best of artisanship to the fore by creating two remarkable products. Working on this project has been exhilarating, and I want to thank our teams in both Struer and Sarnico for making something truly memorable”, said Bang & Olufsen’s CEO Kristian Teär.
“It is a partnership that sounds great. A taste for ‘mixing’ elegance and innovation is the shared value that will guide product design and production. I’m excited to keep advancing research in pursuit of absolute quality and beauty. I can’t wait to discover and enjoy the wonders that will come out of this extraordinary collaboration,” said Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group's CEO.
The partnership builds on the craftsmanship, performance, and design heritage associated with both houses, combining Bang & Olufsen’s iconic products with Riva’s beauty and style. An icon of fine Italian yachting artistry, Riva’s history dates back to 1842 and the company is recognised as the vanguard of world boating. Likewise, Bang & Olufsen has been the leader in luxury audio for almost a century, shaping and reshaping the industry through the unique combination of powerful sound, timeless design, and unrivalled craftsmanship.
Bang & Olufsen and Riva will reveal the exclusive products in September 2024 during the boat show season.
