TANNOY SPEAKER SET


The most exiting last years project is here, and it also was the last one. We have been asked to redesign Tannoy speakers, actually Tannoys employee came to our university for leading this project. OK so the task was really simple, redesign the shape of the speakers while keeping all the same technical characteristics and also think of how to promote new design. Restyling projects are as good for me as ... well never mind, so I did lots of sketches looking for the mind blowing shape (sorry too busy at the moment with my major project at university, I will update the post later) so the speakers began to look like those spaceship part designs from 60`s cute but who the hell would want them except me, so I took a bit more time to bring the design for more minimalistic geometry style and had looked at planes shapes for inspiration. The result is that manufacturing process actually leads the shape design the way it is, what makes it really cool as first time in 3 years I have achieved such unity between manufacturing process and design.


OK the one below is final board on presentation also it has a tweak on how to promote design, as speakers were inspired by jets I decided to put a real one aside them kinda like if saying " you can buy a jet plane for half million pounds or Tannoy speakers for around of a hundred pounds and feel the same effect of flying...through with power of music sound reproduction buy technology)..click the images to view in bigger resolution, I will update the html code of the page soon so images will be actually poping out in another window as for now you will have to press back button in your browser to return to the page.
