A face that feels at home
The textile front softens the object. Its meeting with the outer shell is treated as a deliberate seam, not hidden with extra trim.
Project / Field
Pick it up.
Put it anywhere.
A portable speaker study shaped around the ordinary moments of carrying, placing and adjusting an object.
A carrying detail
changes the whole object.
The loop, face and base belong in the same study. Look at how the product is picked up, put down and approached before treating those details separately.

A useful starting point
The carrying detail belongs to the product.
The carrying loop is built into the shape, giving the hand a clear grip while leaving the fabric front uncluttered.
Controls you can distinguish
Raised controls are separated from the woven surface. Form studies compare their size and spacing before internal hardware is selected.
A base that looks stable
The lower edge gives the object a grounded stance. Models test the proportions from the angles people see on a shelf or table.
Next versions
Test how it feels to carry and use.
Physical models help us look at reach, grip and placement. The next version brings those observations together with component layout and a proposed assembly approach.
