FENDI & Devialet Come Together to Create a High-Fidelity Fashion Icon
It’s been almost two years since Devialet, the French audio aficionados, launched their seminal “Mania” speaker. It was the first portable speaker from the hi-fi company and — until now — the most opulent option in the model’s range was the gilded “Opéra de Paris” edition. But a collaboration with FENDI has upped the ante, tripled the price, and swathed the orb-like speaker in the Italian fashion house’s tessellated “Zucca” motif.
The exclusive speaker, which was revealed on the runway at FENDI Men’s Fall/Winter show in Milan earlier this year, delivers 360-degree stereo sound, a maximum of 95 impactful decibels, and spans the entire audio spectrum — from hearty bass to clean-as-a-pin treble. Proprietary acoustic mapping technology developed by Devialet means the speaker will adapt its stereo soundstage to every environment, and its new tobacco- brown look, trimmed with elegant gold, ensures it’ll look the part wherever it brings the music.
