Project Brief
In today’s fast-paced world, as life pressures continue to rise, people’s need for emotional companionship is stronger than ever. Speakers have evolved from simple playback tools to essential life companions that provide both emotional support and psychological comfort. In response, our product breaks the limits of traditional speakers by innovatively integrating architectural aesthetics, dopamine-inspired color psychology, dynamic gradient ambient lights, and all-scenario adaptability. It redefines the speaker as an audio device for emotional expression and lifestyle aesthetics presentation, creating a multisensory healing journey through sight and sound.
Project Innovation/Need
Artistic Design: Inspired by the iconic columns of the Parthenon in Greece, its precisely proportioned octagonal design exudes a sculptural elegance that balances classical beauty with rational order, making it a work of art in any home. It features a dopamine-inspired color contrast. A solid black base is complemented by a bright pink logo, injecting vitality into the technological aesthetic while remaining simple and expressive. Stepless gradient ambient lights with 16.8 million colors wrap around the sides and base of the speaker, dynamically changing with the rhythm of the music to create an immersive audiovisual atmosphere and underline its value of emotional support and companionship.
Superior Performance: The product supports TWS wireless connectivity, delivering a 360-degree surround sound, bringing a cinematic audio experience to life. It also supports customizable EQ adjustments to suit different environments, music genres, and listening preferences for optimal sound performance, bringing high-quality music into everyday life.
Design Challenge
The challenge is to balance artistic appeal with everyday functionality. Its sculptural style adds a touch of artistry and a sense of ritual to every use. Its compact upright form allows flexible placement while its lightweight build and portable lanyard enable users to enjoy music anytime, anywhere. The speaker base features silicone anti-slip pads and a shock-absorbing structure, effectively resisting moisture in humid environments and vibration in complex scenarios, ensuring long-lasting durability and stable playback, suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, camping, and other scenarios.
Sustainability
The product casing is made from high-strength, eco-friendly PC and ABS alloy with a lightweight build and lasting durability. It easily withstands everyday bumps and exposure to heat and moisture, extending the product’s lifespan to more than five years while reducing resource waste and environmental impact. The lanyard is made from rPET recycled polyester, transforming discarded plastic bottles and textile waste into a high-performance material with excellent tensile strength and a soft, comfortable touch, improving resource efficiency by about 30%. This perfectly embodies a seamless integration of sustainability and practical performance.
