Fendi and Devialet unveil a new chapter in portable luxury audio

Fendi and Devialet have renewed their collaboration with the launch of the Fendi x Devialet Mania Black & Grey, marking a new phase in the partnership between luxury fashion and high-end audio engineering. Coming two years after their first joint release, the latest edition refines the original concept with updated materials, colours, and design details, while retaining the focus on portable performance and everyday usability.

The collaboration reflects a shared approach to craftsmanship and innovation, combining Fendi’s established design language with Devialet’s expertise in acoustic engineering. Rather than positioning the speaker purely as a technology product, both brands frame it as a lifestyle object that sits comfortably across fashion, technology, and personal expression.

This renewed partnership arrives at a time when premium consumers increasingly expect technology to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. By focusing on both form and function, the Fendi x Devialet Mania Black & Grey aims to appeal to users who value performance but also see design as central to the ownership experience.

Design rooted in Fendi’s visual identity

Visually, the Fendi x Devialet Mania Black & Grey draws heavily on Fendi’s house codes. The speaker is wrapped in the brand’s two-toned FF monogram, reinterpreted in a restrained black and grey palette that gives the product a more understated, architectural feel compared to previous editions.

The colourway is complemented by an anthracite carry handle and a black metallic ring finished with chrome detailing. These elements are intended to add contrast without overwhelming the overall silhouette. At the centre of the speaker, the Fendi logo acts as a focal point, reinforcing its status as a collectible design piece rather than a purely functional device.

This emphasis on detail reflects Fendi’s broader approach to accessories, where materials, textures, and finishes are treated with the same care as leather goods or ready-to-wear. In the context of a portable speaker, these choices position the product as something designed to be seen as much as used, aligning with the expectations of luxury consumers.

Devialet’s adaptive sound in a portable format

Beyond its visual identity, the Fendi x Devialet Mania Black & Grey is built around Devialet’s core audio technologies. Designed for people who move between spaces, the speaker delivers immersive 360-degree sound that adapts to its environment. Whether placed in a living room, on a terrace, or in a temporary outdoor setting, the audio output adjusts to maintain balance and clarity.

Central to this capability is Devialet’s proprietary Active Stereo Calibration technology. Embedded microphones and real-time signal processing allow the speaker to analyse its surroundings and automatically tune its soundstage. This approach is intended to ensure consistent performance without requiring manual adjustment from the user.

The resulting sound profile focuses on a combination of deep, physical bass and clear, articulate high frequencies. The aim is to create an expansive listening experience that feels controlled rather than exaggerated, aligning with Devialet’s broader philosophy of precision audio.

From a practical perspective, the speaker includes features designed to support everyday use. An ergonomic carry handle makes it easier to transport, while IPX4 splash resistance provides protection against light exposure to water. Battery life is rated at up to 10 hours of wireless playback, allowing for extended listening sessions away from a power source. When paired with its matching charging station, the system is designed to support uninterrupted use with minimal setup.

The Fendi x Devialet Mania Black & Grey Edition speaker will be available from 5 February 2026, exclusively through selected Fendi boutiques worldwide and via the brand’s official online store.
