A CD player that turned music into art. Six albums displayed like paintings, making the act of choosing what to hear feel ceremonial. Most stereo equipment tries to disappear. This one demands to be seen - and rightfully so. David Lewis looked at six CDs in a record store window and saw the future: your music collection as wall art. The way it displays albums vertically, the motorized glass that opens with anticipation, the seamless track switching - every interaction feels special. This is what happens when someone refuses to hide beautiful technology and instead celebrates it.
Designer David Lewis saw six CDs in a London record store window and envisioned the future of home audio. His philosophy was simple: "Form is nothing more than an extension of content" - why hide beautiful technology when it could be sculpture?
This wasn't just functional - it transformed album covers into a rotating art gallery in your living room. The joy of choosing 6 CDs becomes a Sunday ritual, curating not just sound but visual beauty for the week ahead.
Designed to adapt to any space - mount it vertically on the wall like a piece of art, or place it horizontally on a shelf. The same sophisticated design works beautifully in both orientations.
Nearly three decades later, Bang & Olufsen has reintroduced the Beosound 9000 for a new generation. True design transcends trends - what felt revolutionary in 1996 remains compelling today.
