French film icon Alain Delon (born 1935) later in his career extended his artistic talents to the world of design. One of his notable creations is this rare entertainment unit, the AD 800 Mobile Stereo, designed for Mario Sabot. Combining style with functionality, this masterpiece features high-end Bang & Olufsen technology: a working turntable, a radio receiver and a cassette player.
At the rear is a fourth compartment, ideal for storing tapes.
The speakers are subtly concealed behind elegant brass discs, while the centrally positioned column is equipped with a refined selection indicator. When a function is selected, the corresponding indicator light lights up, adding to the intuitive operation and luxurious appearance.
The whole is carefully finished with a smoked acrylic casing and a central column of shiny brass. The front of the unit bears both the emblem of the manufacturer and the signature of Alain Delon himself, giving the design an extra dimension of exclusivity.
This unique piece reflects the vision and refined taste of one of the most iconic figures in French cinema.
It is said that only six of these copies were produced, one of which went to Sophia Loren.
Alain Delon was born on November 8, 1935 and died on August 18, 2024.
