The Beolit 17 speaker is a portable wireless speaker with a rugged design and a day's worth of battery charge.

Have you got enough Scandinavian style in your home? If not, B&O is hoping that its new Beolit 17 speaker, which follows the Beolit 15, will fill the gap.

Design-wise, B&O has gone for a rugged look; the top and the bottom of the Beolit 17 is made of polymer, as well as having a non-slip and scratchproof tray on the top to place your smartphone. The speaker has an aluminium grille and a leather handle "crafted from premium grain", in case you want to transport it around.

The speaker comes in "Natural" (White) and Stone Grey, and is available now, priced £450.
