We Europeans all secretly aspired to being worthy enough to own anything by Bang & Olufsen once.
When I worked in Lisbon, it was one of the poorest cities in Europe. There was next to no money there at all, but for some reason, it had the fourth-largest shopping centre in Europe (Amoreiras) built in 1985.
When I was there in about 1992, Amoreiras was fairly empty of any stores and fairly empty of people, too. I don't think anyone could afford space. But, there was one single large Bang & Olufsen store in there, selling sleek design-first electronics that I doubt hardly anyone living in the city could possibly afford.
It was very odd. I should ask GPT who the customers could have been... And GPT provides my answer, after all this time.
