PROJECT BRIEF
The Nostalgie Bluetooth Speaker is inspired by audio formats of the past, such as record players and cassettes, that are still treasured today. My user group craves nostalgia and vintage in their everyday lives, from the clothes they wear to the hobbies they pursue. They have rooms decorated with vintage artifacts like film cameras! My design aims to remain true to the fact that the Bluetooth speaker is a technological advancement of the present, thus it incorporates sleek and minimal design features of the modern era while expressing a retro aesthetic.
In contemporary industrial design, there is an increasing demand for rapid concept development through the application of digital technology. This project allowed me to explore important manufacturing processes through 3D printing to create a working prototype of a Bluetooth speaker. To create a functional speaker, I disassembled the elements of an existing speaker and then created 3D models of the internal components in Rhino 7. This would ensure all the elements would fit when transferring them into the 3D-printed shell of my design.
