The flagship also plans to host cultural events, such as live music and art exhibitions, fostering a creative community.

The store spans three floors, each offering a unique experience. The ground floor invites customers to explore the brand’s range in an interactive environment. A sensorium on the lower ground floor provides an immersive sound experience, showcasing Bang & Olufsen’s expertise in acoustics. The first floor is dedicated to bespoke solutions and personalisation, where customers can tailor products to their preference, crafted in the brand’s Struer, Denmark factory. Incorporating local art, the store features a piece by London artist James Shaw, resonating with the brand’s focus on creativity and design.
