Product description
Elipson BS50 Chambord Speaker.
Produced in France, 1960s. An extraordinary piece of French acoustic design where sculpture and sound become one.
The BS50 Chambord embodies the bold Space Age vision that made Elipson internationally renowned.
With its dramatic organic curves and iconic architectural silhouette, this rare loudspeaker is far more than an audio system, it is a collectible design object and a statement of modernist innovation.
Elipson became known for creating technical and urban equipment for transportation networks and public spaces in France.
Founded in 1938 by Joseph Léon, Elipson gained fame for its innovative spherical speaker designs and its close connection to French modernist architecture and broadcasting institutions.
Their work combined engineering precision with visually progressive design language, something that is increasingly appreciated today.
Handcrafted from reinforced plaster composite, the enclosure was engineered to minimize unwanted resonance and deliver a remarkably natural, immersive sound.
The sculptural form was not only visually revolutionary, but acoustically advanced for its time, reflecting Elipson’s pioneering research into spherical and organic speaker design.
Originally produced in very limited numbers, the BS50 Chambord is now highly sought after by collectors of vintage hi-fi, mid-century modern design, and French decorative arts.
Elegant, futuristic, and unmistakably rare, the Elipson BS50 Chambord remains one of the most iconic loudspeakers ever created.
