original bang & olufsen mc 40 music cabinet, type 2051, designed by jacob jensen for bang & olufsen.

a classic example of danish modernist design, combining minimalist furniture architecture with the functionality characteristic of b&o products. The slender teak-finished cabinet is complemented by metal profiles and a light, geometric base.

the cabinet was specifically designed to accommodate components of a bang & olufsen audio system. The interior is divided into several separate compartments of different sizes, allowing individual audio components to be arranged within the cabinet.

individual shelves and platforms slide forward, providing convenient access to the equipment. One of the sections features distinctive ventilation openings. Thanks to its versatile construction, the piece can still be used for its original purpose or repurposed as a low sideboard, console or media cabinet.

the cabinet rests on a minimalist metal base. Metal profiles running along the edges of the body create a distinctive contrast with the warm tone of the teak.

the piece retains its original manufacturer’s markings, including a metal plaque reading:

bang & olufsen of denmark
