Cobble

by Eric Wu for EW Design

Cobble is a bookshelf speaker created with mindfulness in mind. It features a unique grid pattern at the top interface as a surface to immerse the users. Studies have found that mindfulness benefits do not have to come from intentional activities such as meditation but can also come from simple concentration of one's action. Cobble's grid interface allows the user to store or access music profiles with placements of peg. The activation of profiles itself offers a moment of playfulness, mindfulness, respite from one's daily routine.
