Pretzel, earbuds
______
It's a Bluetooth earbud that motivated from "pretzel" sneak. The current earphone accessory market is filled with new technology and simple foams. The technology is improved hugely so components size is smaller and simpler. Most of the designers trying to make earbud look simple but make the difference than other products in the market. In response, I tried to design not just something look different but functional. Missing one pair of the earbud is so painful and pricey to replace.

Mochi, power adapter
_____
It's a power adapter that designed for the earbuds "Pretzel." The concept is motivated by a Japanese dessert "Mochi" the small round mochi stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly an anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans. As you see, the bottom piece color is darker than the main body. It picked on purpose to make it look like mochi.
The front is designed as a soft form for the better grip and back is designed a flat surface to plug in against the wall, and it's perfectly matched to the plug surface which makes sense for the overall form.
The tool design for plastic injection is very simple but exquisite. 1.5-degree draft angles around the bottom flat surface to pull out the upper mold from the chassis. Pins are affording to fold for the travel also for the safety.
