Cohear Sync (1)
The Cohear Sync (1) is a high-end luxury Home Theatre System that works purely on the principles of seamless Integration, modularity, Portability and Practicality . “Less is more” with form, aesthetics and prominent functionality were the main factors considered while designing Cohear.
The Sync (1) was designed for an intent to deliver an emphatic Sound experience with high regard to functionality. It lets the user have the experience of a full fledged home theatre system that the user can carry anywhere at home.
The main goal of this project was to develop a solution governed by this fourfold criteria helping to try and break the bounds of conventional design. A conventional Home Theatre System is something that is very "one-purpose" based. Bringing in Seamless Integration, Modularity, Portability while making sure that the Practicality is in check will open more doors for more design ideas and scopes for intervention.
A few keywords and visuals helped emphasise the type of approach that's to be taken while designing this product. These "trigger words" Per se helped form a story and a design language for this product which in turn resulted in helping the path to designing this product get less blurry.
Drew inspiration from existing concepts that help understand the current trends, aesthetic peculiarities and forms. The mood board also helps understand the colour trends and also shows light on the importance of 'cmf' in the design.
Based on the inspiration from the mood board, initial sketching/ideations of forms, functions, unique features, bold aesthetics etc. helped choose an appropriate design approach and helped taking a step closer to the final design.
A few potential concepts expanded and detailed to further bring the design into a more practical, more modular and more functional form. Exploring various design details, shapes, functions while as we go about the ideation phase of this project helped give more clarity for the design.
Rapid CAD Modelling of the selected ideations gave further clarity towards developing a functional design.
Further CAD Prototyping to detail out various possible design features, functions, Aesthetics, forms, orientations that are more practical, etc.
Once sufficient detailing and form exploration was done, the basic form and the silhouette of the product was finalised. The product will comprise of 3 components : 2 sound bars and a Subwoofer.
A sketch that elaborates more on how the design will work and what is the significance of every key component in the product.
3d prototyping that helps in the detailing in terms of defining the components and their function in the design and how the design will function and look a space.
How it Works
Sync (1) is a multifunctional and modular Home theatre system that works on the principles of seamless integration between devices. Sync (1) is 3 Speaker home theatre system that is designed to fit in 1 single form factor. This makes the design more portable, usable, modular and practical. Generally, a conventional Home theatre system has problems like Wire cluttering, lack of seamless integration and no portability what so ever. Sync (1) creates a scope of intervention in this design and proposes a very "less is More" approach to the conventional design.
