My objective for the Project was to show the beauty of the aging of industrially produced material by developing a portable bluetooth speaker which changes its appearance over time and connects in this way with its owner.

The loudspeaker is made of the plastic Arboform®, which consists of 100% wood. Like natural wood, the plastic changes its appearance over time and has excellent acoustic properties. The shape of the loudspeaker itself is designed for optimal sound and portability.
