CONCEPTUAL PRODUCT,
FOR AN EXISTING BRAND
Flare Audio are an audio innovation company, on a mission to perfect the audio experience and truly connect people to music.
I like the way they push the boundaries of audio perfection through their earphones, and I wanted to take their goal of connecting people to music, and expand it to using music to connect people with each other.
I designed this portable speaker through hand sketching and paper modelling, 3D modelling in Solidworks, rendering in Keyshot and adding finishing touches and mock-ups in Photoshop.
IN DETAIL
I wanted to capture Flare Audio's commitment to creating the highest-quality sound using precision engineering. In addition, I wanted to create an experience which connected people to each other, which I felt was something Flare Audio's product line was missing.
The battery-powered and circular design allows the speaker to easily be placed in the centre of a group.
The hexagonal grill represents structure and strength, and the unity of the hive. Its open spacing minimises distortion whilst still providing some protection.
The brushed aluminium casing, coupled with the clean button-less design, gives that premium finish.
I have used screenshots from Flare Audio's website and their branding to bring Flare Focal to life.
