Inking It Out
I was going through a ‘cosmology phase’ at the time so I really wanted to create a speaker that was out of this world. I chose Saturn as my main inspiration as it is one of my favorite planets, other than Pluto ( Pluto will forever remain a planet in my heart )
I picked this as my brand because I love the mix of metal and wood on their products and wanted to work that into my design.
Breaking it Down
Analyzing an existing speaker clued me in on what was required structurally for function and aesthetics.

Getting into the Thick of It

Finishing Touches
I love working on final models. Surfacing and painting can be so meditative in the chaos of finals.

Orion
Orion is a modular speaker inspired by Bang & Olufsen’s design aesthetic. It has multidirectional sound and is designed to be in the center of your universe.
Ikea Stan
I shot my product photos for Orion in Ikea because it was perfect to shoot multiple shots in various room stagings on a low budget.
