The main goal was to conceive a speaker as aesthetically pleasing as functional in tiny home spaces with a strong focus on sustainability.
The Triangle’s shape emerges from the fact that the density of urban populations is rising up. A city such as Montreal or New York has grown of 13 % in the last 10 years. The way we’re conceiving new home spaces is evolving. There is a whole new generation trending towards smaller but more efficient home spaces where the need to take advantage of every cubic meters available is critical.
The speaker’s design is all about efficiency as a corner is way too often an unused wasted space. This sound system turns such wasted space into an opportunity, the opportunity to improve the given environment. In a corner, the Triangle becomes part of the room: as volumes merge, instead of having a speaker in a room, we have a room with an integrated Hi-Fi audio system.
Personalization
As human beings, the need to express ourselves is undeniable: every time we output an expression, whether it is through the words we choose, the actions we do or the way we dress, what we really do is affirming our own existence. We are reaffirming to the world the uniqueness of our personality, what set us apart from our peers. It is known that the colors and objects inside a room exhibit the personality of the given room, which is most of the time, an extension of the personality of the people living in that space.

Every time we decorate and shape our home spaces, what we really do is designing such space’s personality, a personality which is ultimately the reflection of ours. Think of when you visit someone’s place for the first time, you can feel that person’s character through the interior design’s choices. Every time we settle for an object in our home space which does not exactly reflect what we are looking for, we are making an attempt to our own expression, as if we were forcing ourselves to wear clothes we do not like. That is why I have made the Triangle speaker fully customizable and curated the best options possible so no matter the home design, there is a perfect Triangle speaker for it.

<< Personalizing mass-produced home furnishings is a major challenge, and even five or 10 years won't be enough to fully figure it out.>>
- Marcus Engman, Head of design, IKEA
One of the main challenge was to make make a highly personalisable product made for mass production.
Art Wire & Creative Decals.
I believe one of the greatest challenge in Product design, as it is in life, is to turn weakness into strength.
So here is how I played with the wire. If you cannot hide, then embrace it.
The Triangle can also be used with creative decals to ornate walls cand corners.
