BEO PORT focuses on the listening space rather than on displaying products. Bang & Olufsen developed it with artist and designer Kwangho Lee. Interior photographs supplied by the brand show green seating, wooden tables and large circular panels covering the ceiling and walls.

The panels and furniture use Kvadrat fabrics. The brand links the circles to the forms of its products, such as the Beosound A9, and says the colors and textures were drawn from Busan’s sea and harbor.

A wall-mounted limited edition of the Beosound Shape modular speaker carries Lee’s enamel work, bringing deep green and teal onto the surfaces of its modules.

Le Montreux, a music space in Jinju, selects music to suit the time of day and atmosphere. GOOF, based in Jeonpo, runs the lounge and its bar. Private listening sessions and exhibitions have been announced as plans, but no dates or bookable programs have been released.

The Shape collaboration edition is made to order, with modules configured for each customer’s space. It will be shown only at BEO PORT in October, go on sale at stores nationwide from November and be sold in limited quantities through December. Opening hours and other visitor information will be released after the opening.

Languages and pronunciation

According to its official FAQ, the tool supports names from nineteen languages, including English, Japanese and Chinese. It also offers alternative spellings, pronunciation guidance and audio playback.

Because people pronounce the same spelling differently, a suggested spelling may not match how a person says their own name.

Font previews and name cards

The site offers font previews and a downloadable name-card image. When making a card for someone else, it is best to ask how they want their name pronounced and written. The tool is at myhangulname.com.

The work weaves traditional dances, including taepyeongmu, seungmu and salpuri, into new choreography for ensemble. First staged in 2024, it has been performed several times and returns with reworked transitions between scenes.

Made by GS25 with ROROMALLO, Hanjeongseon (한정선) Pistachio Chapssaltteok follows September’s yogurt version as the second product in the series. The frozen dessert fills chapssaltteok, a chewy glutinous rice cake, with cream containing ground roasted pistachios. The announced price is KRW 3,900.

In the supplied photograph, the green package is the new pistachio product. The pale package beside it is the earlier yogurt version.

From design to production data

The company used footwear as its example. After a design is drafted, production still requires lasts, the forms that shape a shoe, along with 3D design, patterns and manufacturing specifications.

RebuilderAI explained how it generates data suited to each use, such as CAD files for moulds and mesh data for 3D printing.

Capturing factory work

RebuilderAI says it is collecting workers’ body and finger movements in real factories and building a system that links them to product IDs, designs, materials and quality results. Recording the force applied by workers’ hands is a future plan. The company did not claim that fully autonomous manufacturing is already in operation.
