I designed and crafted a functional model of the speaker.
Engineered to deliver sound and surprise.
Teenage Engineering blends minimal form with expressive and fun, hands-on interaction.
Build it yourself!
Inspired by their brand, I set out to create a product that invites interaction and sparks delight through physical engagement.

The Design Process
Ideation sketches exploring the brand language in a new speaker.
The design was driven by how the user builds it, the first interaction.
Every part was designed around the experience, even the custom screws.
Rapid prototyping was central to the iterative design process.
These models helped refine the aesthetics, test functionality & internal components, and inform decision-making.
It didn't end here. I revisited the project.
