Diploma project
Synthesis of Memories
An interactive speaker accompanied by a set of six figurines. Each figurine, through its unique shape and color palette, represents a specific emotion: joy, melancholy, ecstasy, sadness, acceptance, or anger. Placing a selected figurine on a dedicated area of the speaker automatically triggers its assigned playlist. Reflecting the personal nature of the project, the tracks were curated by the designer based on emotional associations and musical taste.
The project stems from a desire to create an analog ritual for sharing music, emphasizing the emotional weight carried by sound. The form and coloration of the figurines heighten the experience, while the materials used—beech wood and stained glass—give the object a tactile, sensory quality. The speaker's interactivity is powered by NFC technology and a Raspberry Pi system, seamlessly bridging digital solutions with a close, physical connection to the object.
Graduation 11
Publishing the catalog is always a special moment for us. It is not only a symbolic farewell to the graduating class but, above all, a record of the meeting of the "head"—acquired knowledge—with the "heart"—emotions and meaning. In this year's publication, we have collected 80 diploma projects that serve as the best showcase of our graduates.
Part of collection „Graduation 11. Eighty stories of design”.
