OBEN is redefining the intersection of art, sound, and design. Each piece is a sculptural object that holds world-class audio, hand crafted with devotion by artists Bronx + Steph.
With extraordinary early interest, we are opening the door to a small circle of Founding Patrons who will join us in this first chapter, helping to lay the foundation for OBEN to rise as a house of art and sound.
Each OBEN work is a sculptural object infused with sound at its core.
Not speakers disguised as art, but art that sings.

For collectors, creators, and those who listen with intention, OBEN creates sculptural speakers that are conceived and treated as artworks.
This is precision, presence, and permanence.
Every OBEN work is treated as an artwork, catalogued with a unique serial number to ensure provenance.
We offer serialized Limited Collections, where no two are alike but all belong to a defined series, and fully commissioned one-of-one pieces created in direct collaboration with a Patron.
This is not Plug + Play.

Our sound surpasses traditional HiFi leaders.
Clarity. Realism. Imaging. Transparency.
Many listeners are moved to tears the first time they hear OBEN, and most say it feels like they are truly hearing their favorite songs for the first time.
Where legacy HiFi divides sound into parts, OBEN delivers it whole. Each piece is not just heard, but felt as a living presence in the room.
OBEN was born in Los Angeles, created by Bronx & Steph, two design-obsessed artists who believe sound is sacred and art is alive.
Most speakers are engineered. OBEN is crafted by working artists whose practices span sculptural design, immersive environments, and high-fidelity sound — a rare fluency across both sonic and physical space. Bronx is signed to Roc Nation, bringing an intimate understanding of music at the highest level. Together, Steph and Bronx shape every detail, every curve, every frequency by hand and by vision. The result is an object that dissolves the line between sound and sculpture — an experience as technical as it is emotional, as spatial as it is spiritual.

Why the Patron Circle Exists
We didn’t set out to raise money. Our focus was on creating, and over the past two years we refined the speakers through an R&D phase, placing multiple commissioned works that proved both the sound and the desirability of OBEN.
This year we introduced OBEN as a house of art and sound, and the response has been extraordinary. In the few weeks of sharing this new chapter with a small circle, several collectors have proactively asked to invest.
The Founding Patron Circle is our way of responding with intention, giving those who believe in OBEN at the beginning the chance to collect a commissioned work and be tied to its long-term story

Throughout history, patrons have made it possible for artists to create freely and shape culture. OBEN continues that tradition in a way no one else is, creating sculptures that sing, works that unite art and sound as a single form.
Warhol was not yet a global icon when he created the Factory, but it was there, sustained by patrons and collectors, that he became one and his work came to shape culture on a global scale. OBEN echoes that vision: our atelier will be a living space where sculpture and sound converge, supported by those who see the enduring value of art and music in the world.
Our Founding Patrons will forever be tied to this origin story, remembered as the visionaries who believed at the beginning and helped carry OBEN into the world.
THE VISION
Our Patrons are part of the spark that brings OBEN into being...
THE VISION
Warhol was not yet a global icon when he founded the Factory in 1962, it was the Factory that made him one. It became a hub where art, culture, and community collided, sustained by the patrons who believed in him & the art he gave to the world.
OBEN echoes that vision: our showroom and workshop will be our Factory, a living atelier where art takes shape and culture gathers, supported by the Patrons who see the value of art and music in the world. Our Founding Patrons will forever be tied to this origin story, remembered as the visionaries who believed at the beginning and helped carry OBEN into the world.

We will pursue institutional collecting (museums, design collections).
-
We will explore acquisition or licensing of the underlying driver IP.
Our long-term goal is clear:
OBEN as a household name defining the category of art + sound.

FUTURE GROWTH PATHWAYS
Art and music are the foundation of culture. They shape how societies see themselves, deepen connection, and remind us of what it means to be human.
OBEN works move people emotionally the moment they are heard, while holding long-term cultural value as collectible artworks. In a time when people crave experiences that feel authentic and deeply human, OBEN creates a new category: works of art that fill space with presence, sound, and meaning.
While many OBEN works will live in private collections, our vision also includes placing pieces in museums, cultural institutions, and public spaces — ensuring that this new art form can inspire and move a wider community.
Founding Patrons will forever be tied to OBEN’s opening movement, remembered as the visionaries who believed early and carried this house of art and sound into the world.
Supporting OBEN as a Patron is more than participation, it is authorship. Patrons hold equity in a rising house of art and sound, alongside ownership of one of the earliest commissioned works. We have already placed works and seen how deeply they move people; with Patron support, we can create the atelier and the momentum to share this more widely..
This circle is limited and will not reopen. Those who join us now will be remembered not only as collectors of sculptural sound, but as co-authors of a cultural movement greater than ourselves.
