IQOS and Devialet Introduce “Soundsorial Design” Collaboration

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) today announced a collaboration between IQOS – the number 1 tobacco heating system¹, and Devialet – the French acoustic engineering company, launching “Soundsorial Design” at Milan Design Week 2026.

The immersive exhibition is an ethereal landscape of water and light, where sound, movement, and voice become visible across an ever‑changing immersive canvas. A space to push experiential boundaries, where visitors are invited to explore their own frequency as sound transforms into sight. The collaboration celebrates self-expression while connecting a community of over 35 million IQOS users who moved away from cigarettes.

Devialet’s mission to give sound its rightful place in our lives, achieved through acoustic breakthroughs, meets IQOS’s bold spirit of being forever curious – the force that pushes the brand to continuously innovate and explore new technologies for a better future. Two precision cultures, one pursuit of excellence.

“In both houses, design is deeply functional and innovation is the foundation. Patents, products and peer standards are the evidence. United by a relentless commitment to push innovation boundaries, Devialet and IQOS’ collaboration challenges the status quo while redefining the experiences of tomorrow,” said Oggie Kapetanovic, President Heat Not Burn, Philip Morris International.

Brought to life through innovative technology, the ‘Soundsorial Design’ exhibition becomes a space to push experiential boundaries - where Devialet’s sound is alive: seen through the movement of its iconic woofers and felt physically through its powerful infrabass - inviting us to explore until we find our own frequency and witness the moment when immersive sound transforms into sight.

“Driven by a shared ambition to disrupt industry conventions, IQOS and Devialet have designed a truly 'soundsorial' experience for this exhibition. By bringing Devialet’s savoir-faire to the space, we have ensured that sound is no longer just a backdrop—it becomes a physical presence that completes the journey, embodied by the iconic design and performance of the Devialet Phantom Ultimate speaker”, emphasized Jacques Demont, Devialet’s Chief Executive Officer.

Also unveiled as part of the collaboration is the ‘Soundsorial’ Limited-Edition Capsule Drop. The unique piece by IQOS and Devialet is a creation born from the collaboration between the two brands, crafted for those who seek an exceptional union. The exclusive set pairs the IQOS ILUMA i PRIME with Devialet’s Gemini II earbuds, featuring sound-wave-inspired patterns.

“The sound waves carry a signature rhythm – a pattern as unique as a fingerprint. Yet waves also belong to the collective, they are energy moving through space, the invisible currents that bind us to one another. This duality mirrors the spirit of the IQOS and Devialet collaboration. Devialet’s sound waves turn emotion into shared experience; IQOS empowers self‑expression while connecting a community of over 35 million users²”, concluded Oggie Kapetanovic.

‘IQOS X Devialet: Soundsorial Design’ will be staged at Opificio 31, inside Tortona Rocks, from April 20 to 27 2026, from 10:00 to 21:00 CEST each day.
