Designer Anthony Chupp is the creative mind behind the new and nostalgic concept CD player. Chupp creates the device specifically for Bang & Olufsen, resulting in a Beosound Concept idea. As a result, he imagines a sleek portable player with a minimal design language.
It adds a nostalgic feel for those who were walking around plugged into their CD player. However, this concept stems from a more contemporary look with a shiny structure. It does not have a bright screen and to control the functions, users are to use a turntable style to change the volume and there are touchable buttons for play and pause. Textural highlights are applied for a contrasting feel and lead to the different controls.
