Editions + Commissions
Each piece is realized by hand in Los Angeles and released either as part of a limited edition or as a singular commission.
Limited: Editions
Small collections—handcrafted, numbered, and finite. Every OBEN piece carries a unique serial number, certifying authenticity and its place within the lineage of our work. Once an edition closes, it does not return.
Works are allocated individually and removed from availability once secured. Acquisition is confirmed upon full payment. Works are allocated individually and removed from availability once secured. Pricing reflects scale, material, and acoustic architecture.
Fabrication begins following acquisition.
LEAD TIME
4-12 Weeks
Starting at $26,000
A defined palette of materials, finishes, hardware, and driver configurations shapes each series. Within that framework, every piece is made to your specification, scaled and resolved for its final environment.
Most editions are offered in multiple driver sizes, allowing the work to be tailored to the space and listening context. No two leave the studio identically.
Customizations
-
Woods, stones, metals, acoustic fabrics
-
Signature finishes and custom patinas
-
Scale and configuration

CONSULTATION
A member of the studio will have a conversation about your space, your specification, and the series that fits. Materials, finishes, driver configuration, and scale are confirmed.
REALIZATION
Every piece is built by hand in Los Angeles by Stevie and Bronx. There is no factory. Each form is shaped, constructed, and finished in the studio, with materials selected for both their acoustic and physical properties. The drivers are tuned by ear to the completed form, ensuring the work performs as a single, continuous system.
Lead times vary by series, typically four to twelve weeks.
INSTALLATION
Your work is shipped or hand-delivered depending on location and scale. Bronx tunes every OBEN work to your specific space on delivery. The work is not complete until it is in your room and sounding the way it should.

APPROACH
Each commission begins with a conversation.From there, the studio defines a singular direction for the work. Form, material, and acoustic structure are developed as one integrated system.The work is authored by the studio and guided through a focused approval process before fabrication begins.Once approved, the design is fixed.

INSTALLATION
Each work is completed in its final environment.Sound behaves differently in every space. Dimensions, materials, and layout all affect how resonance moves and where it settles. Every piece is tuned in situ to its surroundings.The work is not complete until it is installed.
