We return to the intersection of "Style" and "Tech", where the Fendi x Devialet Mania mash-up resides. The Italian fashion house teams with the French audio maestros for a portable speaker that turns heads. It's a Devialet Mania—a high-fidelity speaker boasting 360° stereo sound—wrapped in Fendi's iconic monogram.

Earlier in the year, the Fendi x Devialet Mania edition made its first appearance at the Fendi Autumn/Winter 2024 menswear runway show in Milan. At first, it looked like a male model sauntering with a rotund carrier before finding out that it was a Devialet Mania model covered with Fendi's two-tone monogram in tobacco and brown with a sand handle and gold details (which we are told is actual gold).

Originally launched in 2022, the Devialet Mania model utilises its own proprietary acoustic mapping technology and Active Stereo Calibration (ASC) to adjust its sound to suit any room. This means, as a listener, you'll get the optimal delivery of pitch-perfect treble and bone-rattling bass. Each edition comes complete with an add-on wireless charging dock, the Devialet Mania Station. And with a staggering 30–20,000 hertz audio range, an IPX4 splash resistance and Devialet’s first built-in battery offering up to 10 hours of wireless bliss, now with the Fendi motif, it elevates this piece of tech into a piece of art.

The Fendi x Devialet Mania edition retails for SGD4,100 and is available online and at Devialet outlets.
