Summary

SPESKER explores the relationship between person, sound, and object through a tactile portable speaker concept.

Vilnius Academy of Arts, second-year autumn semester assignment.

Brief

Create a mobile sound object.

Design challenge

Many portable speakers lack character and increasingly rely on screens, phones, or touch controls.

01

Tactile control

The speaker proposes a clear, tactile, and logical control relationship where every button, rotation, and light response becomes part of the experience.

02

Configurable knobs

A removable and adaptable knob configuration becomes part of the product interaction.

03

Object character

Music is treated as emotion, so the product should not be only a technical intermediary. It can become an expressive and felt design object.
