Beotalk 1200 answering machine

The BeoTalk 1100 and 1200 series is an answering machine of the highest quality. It can be placed on a table or desk, or mounted on the wall. Like so many other Bang & Olufsen products, its functions are divided up into primary functions, which are visible all the time, and secondary functions, which are concealed behind a panel, and are only for 'special occasions'.

Henrik Sørig Thomsen

Henrik Sørig Thomsen Design has produced a wide range of telephone products for Bang & Olufsen. Thomsen swapped a place at Aalborg University for a carpenter’s workbench. After a few years building furniture and houses, he did a brief stint as a gardener on the roof of the Danish central bank. In 1990 he started studying at the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen. The association between the company and Henrik Thomsen started when he went to Bang & Olufsen for a period of practical training. He has continued to work with them ever since. Today Thomsen has his own design studio in Århus, Denmark’s second city, but most of his time and energy is devoted to projects for Bang & Olufsen Telecom and Bang & Olufsen Technology.
