I crafted a functional model of the speaker.


Using off-the-shelf electronics, laser-cut sheet metal, milled speaker enclosure and lathed metal buttons.

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.

Features

Mechanical rotating on/off switch

Laser-cut anodized aluminum case

Magnetic wireless charging

Momentary rocker volume switch

Black-oxide steel thumb screws

Dual 3in drivers & passive radiator

I made multiple models to refine aesthetics, test functionality, internal components and informed decision making.

Rapid prototyping was central to exploring the design through an iterative process.

It didn't end here, I had a chance to revisit the project.
