‘The inspiration behind this cover design is based on the Federico Fellini movies and some of the classic, iconic imagery of the stunning Sophia Loren in her earlier career days. I have always been a huge fan of those beautiful Italian movies and inspired by the attention to detail they pervade. Red is a very vibrant colour, full of life and in this design, portrays passion and a sense of classic glamour.
As a designer, I am always looking for new images to use in my projects and I keep a collection of them for potential projects. I was delighted to be asked by Bang & Olufsen to collaborate on the design for this iconic speaker and I immediately knew the red lips image from my collection would be perfect. The statement design with the classic red lips brings a dimension of sensuality, the narrative glamour of iconic Italian films and classic Italian style to the speaker.’
