Reveal a collective awareness through the tech object.
Specifications: design a modular speaker where each technical unit is independent and interchangeable.
A recognizable and disruptive form language.
Identity: starting from a cylindrical volume and revealing an open interior through cuts on two axes, creating a recognizable silhouette. This shape promotes homogeneous acoustic coverage and immediate visual signature.
Advantage of a modular design — iterative prototyping.
Design: definition of a modular gauge to accommodate each technical unit (amplification, battery, I/O modules). Rapid prototyping allows for adjusting tolerances and interfaces before industrialization.
