This page showcases our experiments. We view this process as an integral part of our creative inquiry. Some of the created objects remain as prototypes, while others evolve and are implemented in realized projects.

The concept of a D-class ceramic wireless Bluetooth speaker.
In this project, we are focusing on the material ceramics and reconsider its usage in industrial design. Ceramics are not always tableware! While we are concerned about the amount of carbon footprint in nature, we realize that it is impossible to get rid of plastic completely, but we want to minimize its usage in industrial design.
The idea behind this experimental project is to look at classic materials in a new way. For example, ceramics. This is a material that our ancestors have been mastering for centuries. It is found in all cultures and civilizations. Items made of ceramics are not replicated as quickly as those made of plastic and not so durable. But perhaps in our time these disadvantages are an advantage.
The philosophy of our project is to contemplate the process. The process is as important as the result. We believe that this approach can influence the culture of consumption. In our opinion society needs to accept the fact that the process of making is as important as the end result. We all need to learn to take care of the items we purchase. We just need to take more time... Maybe that's what we need—to slow down the process and be more careful of the work of the people who make it. And to preserve fragile objects for future generations: if the family sets are preserved, why not the music speakers as well? After all every object has its own history and value. We must realize that things we use are not just objects, but a part of our culture and heritage. Therefore it is important not only to consume, but also to preserve, passing these values on to the next generation. With our Bluetooth speaker, we want to demonstrate that this is possible.
