Mural Stereo merges 2 usage types of listening systems. One is a single speaker and the other one is a stereo system. It allows listeners to organize their own listening preferences according to the space and further design the pattern for their walls.
“Life is not an exact science, it is an art.”
How to Use
Mural Stereo is aiming to translate the flow of music into a graphic and provide listeners to design their own visual style. Listeners could easily operate the stereo system in their own space, still could enjoy the high-quality sonic timbre.
Users allow to operate only one module on the wall as the single speaker or hang more modules on the wall as the stereo playing system. Mural Stereo could simply operate just like the wallpaper and users can decorate Mural Stereo in any style they prefer in their own space.
Research & Design Process
Mural Stereo is a year and a half project start from research and setting strategy to product prototype. In order to fulfill the product concept, it needs to redesign the whole inner components of the stereo system.
Many sketches and 3D modelings are methods to clarify the scenarios during the creative process. Those rough modelings are the way to better estimate the shape of this new type of speaker and confirm every detail of this product.
Mural Stereo ideates on visualizing the music into a product, inspired by the graffiti arts. Combine the melting idea, wallpaper, and pop art to come up with the color and pattern idea for Mural Stereo.
