Product description
Set of BS 404 speakers by Joseph Léon for Elipson, 1960s France. This iconic pair is considered a remarkable example of French modernist audio design. Originally designed for the professional market, these speakers quickly found their way into the homes of private enthusiasts. Their sculptural spherical form combined with the elegant tripod base creates a timeless aesthetic that fits seamlessly into both contemporary and mid-century interiors. The speaker bodies are made from ‘staff’ (a type of fibre-reinforced plaster) combined with fiberglass, an innovative construction technique used by Elipson to achieve excellent acoustic performance. The spheres have been restored while carefully preserving their authentic texture and original character. This pair stands on elegant three-legged metal bases finished in black powder coating, emphasizing the graphic and architectural silhouette of the design. The tweeters have been fitted with new foam surrounds, ensuring the speakers remain in good technical condition while respecting the integrity of the original components. An exceptional and highly decorative set that will appeal equally to collectors of vintage audio and enthusiasts of iconic French modernist design. Measurements: Height (incl. base): 65 cm Width: 40 cm Depth: 35 cm
